             abstract = "A photonic crystal fiber is a new type of optical fiber that 
                         presents an array of air holes running along its whole length and 
                         whose properties can be predicted upon precise knowledge of its 
                         cross section. Up to now, the cross section of these fibers has 
                         been estimated through manual segmentation of the contours in 
                         scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. In this work, an image 
                         processing tool, called PyFibers, was developed, based on 
                         mathematical morphology (MM) operations. The tool extracts the 
                         contours from the images with minimal user intervention, and 
                         outputs a text file containing the contours coordinates and a DXF 
                         file with the contours. Either of these files can, subsequently, 
                         be used as input to softwares that evaluate the optical properties 
                         of the fibers.",
