Abstract

The present invention provides a computer system (2) for determining regions of interest in a static digital image for display on a display device, the system comprising a processor (4) configured to compare parts of an image (20, 50) with characteristics at least one region of interest specified by a user (19) and to determine at least one region of interest in an image (20, 50) based at least in part on the degree of similarity between parts of the image and the at least one user-specified region of interest in which the at least one user-specified region of interest is specified from the same image as the image in relation to which the determination is made.
