Using equalization in YIQ color model and curve adjust by splines for morphometric evaluation of histological slides in mice

摘要

This paper presents two image techniques for morphometric evaluation. The first one improve the color contrast employing color equalization and borders are identified by using splines. The second one is a semiautomatic method that use fuzzy color thresholding. The second technique will provide the basis of a future automatic method. These techniques are experimentally validated measuring neoformed vessels on histological sections of mice's thigh.
