Standard classifier approach to classification of an object (i.e., feature-based ML). Features (e.g., contrast, effective diameter, and circularity) are extracted from a segmented object in an image. Those features are entered as input to a classifier such as a multilayer perceptron. Class determination is made by taking the class of the output unit with the maximum value.
