Abstract
An image annotation system for annotating a microscopic image of a sample includes an output unit configured to display the image of the sample, and an input unit configured to capture a first and second user input sequence including a first and second movement of a cursor over the image, the first and second movement defining a first and second closed path. The image annotation system also includes a processor configured to determine a first image area, determine whether the second closed path includes at least one proximity section, when the second closed path does not include the proximity section, to determine a second image area, and when the second closed path does include the proximity section, to determine the second image area and at least one area between the border of the first image area and the at least one proximity section.
