Deep cut or heavy blows can wound living tissues. The wounds heal but often leave a permanent scar. One aim of medical science is to find efficient treatments for wounds to reduce scarring to a minimum. However, it is not possible to judge which treatment gives a better performance unless there is an objective method for comparing tissue samples. The aim of this paper is to develop computer-based methods for making quantitative comparisons between microscopic images of wound and normal tissues. Methods have been developed, using mathematical morphology, to measure the distribution of lengths, widths and orientations of collagen fibres in the tissue images, even though they cannot be resolved as individual objects.
