A Heuristic Graphic Filter

What the heck is a heuristic graphic filter? In this case, heuristic means a technique in which a computer works along empirical methods, using rules of thumb, to find solutions or answers. The application described here is to have the computer "recognize" a parameter from a graphic image.

Identifying a red line on a chart is simple task for most people, but not so easy for a computer. The reason is "red" is not always = RGB(255, 0, 0). When the red line is drawn by a pen and optically scanned, red turns out to be various shades red, pink, purple, and orange. The trick here is to "train" the computer as to what you would call the red line.
