Close-up view of vein: Complicated case. Close-up view of the vein region of the image in Figure 2 (left), cell detection result after vein smoothing and elimination (middle), and cell detection result without prior vein handling (right). As the blood areas separate the vein into several components, the Fill Holes filter fails to remove all cellular components of the blood, see the areas marked with arrows (left). Vein smoothing and elimination allows for a correct detection (middle). If no vein exclusion is applied, the detection results in a number of additional false positives and false negatives (right).
