Abstract: 
This paper presents an algorithm for automatic neural image analysis in immunostained
vertebrate retinas. We present a useful tool for cell quantification avoiding the lost of
information of traditional binary techniques in automatic recognition of images. The
application is based on the extension of the mathematical morphology to colour images. In the
paper, we define the basics and more complex morphological operations to vectorial image
processing. We propose and demonstrate a colour image reconstruction by geodesic transformations.
In addition, we adapt the morphological segmentation of greyscale image to the
segmentation of multispectral images of retinas of monkeys.
