1. A method for inspecting an object in a field of view employing a machine vision system including a digital camera, comprising: capturing, via the digital camera, an original digital image including a multiplicity of pixels and associated light intensities for the field of view including the object; generating a bitmap image file for the original digital image including the multiplicity of pixels and associated light intensities for the field of view including the object; dynamically determining, using a controller, a mean value and a standard deviation of the light intensities of the multiplicity of pixels of the bitmap image file for the original digital image; generating a plurality of new image files, each new image file including a portion of the multiplicity of pixels having associated light intensities within a prescribed range of light intensities defined by the mean value and the standard deviation; extracting line segments from each of the new image files; merging the extracted line segments from the new image files; clustering the extracted line segments from the new image files; and generating integral lines for the object based upon the merged and clustered extracted line segments from the new image files.
