METHOD FOR UNBIASED ESTIMATION OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF OBJECTS BASED ON NON UNIFORM SAMPLING WITH PROBABILITY OBTAINED BY USING IMAGE ANALYSIS

摘要

An image is partitioned into sectors, and a number of sectors are selected randomly but with a probability of selection which is proportional with the likelihood of objects in the sector. For the selected sectors, the objects are measured or counted and used for estimation of the amount of objects in the entire image.
