Described herein is a system and method for determining characteristics of a wound. The system includes a first imaging sensor that obtains imaging information of a wound area and a second imaging sensor that obtains topology information of the wound area. The system further includes circuitry that designates a representative background portion of the wound area from the imaging information of the wound area, that designates a representative wound portion of the wound area from the imaging information of the wound area, that determines the boundary of the wound portion within the imaging information of the wound area based on the designated representative background and wound portions, that correlates the imaging information and the topology information, that applies the boundary of the wound portion designated within the imaging information to the topology information to designate a mask area, and that determines characteristics of the wound portion within the mask area based on the topology information and the imaging information.
