Abstract :
We describe a unique segmentation approach that can be used in a machine vision based cash register system for commodity pricing of hand made bread. Systematic sorting and classification of bread samples according to their shapes, sizes, textures and surface color distribution is explored. We compare and contrast our approach with character recognition and face detection methods
