Abstract
Image enhancement for a digital image, such as an image of a biological specimen mounted on a microscope slide or a cytological specimen is herein described. A digital representation of the image is dilated to produce a dilated image and eroded to provide an eroded image. The dilated image, eroded image and the digital representation of the image are then processed to produce an enhanced image.
