Segmentation (a) capillary extraction, which uses morphological operations to extract the clearly visible capillaries; (b) result for capillary extraction showing the 3rd channel of the Lab colour space; (c) final result of blood capillary segmentation by combining (a) and (b) where white regions inside the black villi are the capillaries; and (d) final result with marked regions. Regions with white boundaries indicate villi and the ones with green boundaries indicate blood capillaries.
