Abstract

Gray scale morphology is applied to the problem of counting and locating rods and cones in whole mounted human retina viewed with Nomarski differential interference contrast (NDIC) optics. Straightforward techniques perform well on high quality images, but fail badly on similar images. Two types of adaptation are introduced, both of which markedly broaden the class of images which can be handled.
