Abstract
A method of selecting at least one region of interest within an image includes the selection of a preliminary region having a preliminary border. The selection uses one or more characteristics of the image. An inner probability distribution of color components is determined within the preliminary region and an outer probability distribution of color components outside the preliminary region. The preliminary border is adjusted in dependence on the probability distributions, the adjusted border defining the at least one region of interest.
