Claim 0:
1. A method of identifying at least one portion of the skin of an animal which is a region of interest, the method comprising:
receiving a temperature dataset indicating the temperature of each of a plurality of points on the skin of the animal;
using the temperature dataset to obtain an initial segmentation of the skin which classifies the skin into at least one portion of the skin which is part of the region of interest and at least one portion which is not part of the region of interest, and
using a three dimensional model of the profile of the skin to enhance the initial segmentation by identifying at least one area of the initial segmentation which incorrectly classifies skin as part of the region of interest, and correcting the identified incorrect classification.
