Hi all,

I have an interesting problem that is currently proving difficult to solve.

I have an image (http://i41.tinypic.com/10i71o2.jpg) containing leukaemia infected red blood cells. My task is to firstly detect and count the biconcave cells in my image, which I have done. The second is to detect the presence of horn like features (far left, bottom left). Following their detection, a count of the number of horns on each cell needs to be conducted.

Im struggling to complete this as the horns are all unique. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help.
