Abstract :
The diabetes is a disease, that in the year of 2013, affects 382 million people around the world, half of that group doesn´t even know they´re affected. At Medicine is known that there is relation between the type II of this disease and the hypertrophy of intestinal mucosa, but it isn´t exactly known what binds them. In the present paper it is stated the process of villus segmentation- being the villus the structure responsible for increasing the area available for absorption on the intestinal walls- using mathematical morphology and the watershed transform.
