Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for identifying regions of interest (ROIs) in images. A computing system may identify an image including an annotation defining an ROI. The image may have a plurality of pixels in a first color space. The computing system may convert the plurality of pixels from the first color space to a second color space to differentiate the annotation from the ROI. The computing system may select a first subset of pixels corresponding to the annotation based at least on a color value of the first subset of pixels in the second color space. The computing system may identify a second subset of pixels included in the ROI from the image using the first subset of pixels. The computing system may store an association between the second subset of pixels and the ROI defined by the annotation in the image.
