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.
