Many methods have been developed for image edge detection and most of these techniques work well in images with uniform regions, but less well in regions with greater non-uniformity. This paper describes an edge enhancing technique suitable for the complexity of histological images, such as those contained in the Mouse Embryo Atlas (MA). In order to achieve this, a new feature exaction method has been developed which combines a neural network technique with a novel edge detection algorithm. The neural network has been trained on several sets of appropriate images that classify a selection of pixels as edge or non-edge points. Our preliminary results are promising showing that many edges have been successfully enhanced with few false positives.
