Computer-implemented methods for detecting objects within digital image data based on color transitions include: receiving or capturing a digital image depicting an object; sampling color information from a first plurality of pixels of the digital image, wherein each of the first plurality of pixels is located in a background region of the digital image; assigning each pixel a label of either foreground or background using an adaptive label learning process; binarizing the digital image based on the labels assigned to each pixel; detecting contour(s) within the binarized digital image; and defining edge(s) of the object based on the detected contour(s). Corresponding systems and computer program products configured to perform the inventive methods are also described.
