A method for identifying features in an image, the method comprising: a) from a first location, scanning the image along a scan path in a scan direction away from the first location so as to detect a border in the image at a second location; b) mapping a path defined by the border in a first direction along the border from the second location, the path being mapped in dependence on a border quality measure; c) determining whether the mapped path forms a perimeter; and d) if the mapped path does form a perimeter, scanning the image from the mapped path so as to detect a further border in the image; or if the mapped path does not form a perimeter, mapping a path defined by the border from the second location in a second direction along the border that is different to the first direction. |
