Abstract: Genetic family-tree object recognition is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes processing an image to identify a genetic object in the image and a connector associated with the genetic object; and associating at least one other object to the genetic object based on the connector. The method may be in a form of a machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform the method. Processing the image (e.g. in real-time on drawing of the image in an input device) may include examining the image to determine if a particular pixel is associated with a geometric shape (e.g. a rectangle to represent a male individual and a circle to represent a female individual) by examining at least one characteristic of neighboring pixels to the particular pixel. An editable database library of various genetic objects may be referenced to identify the genetic object.
