Hi Jason,
you will mainly need smoothing algorithms.
Here is what I tried:
//elimiate horizontal lines
run("Convolve...", "text1=1\n2\n1\n normalize");
//then eliminate outliers
run("Median...", "radius=4.5");
//the following needs the "Thresholded Blur" edge-preserving plugin from
//
http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/imagej-documentation-wiki/plugins/
thresholded-blur
run("Thresholded Blur", "radius=5 threshold=50 softness=0.50
strength=1");
//If you want, you may choose to increse the strength of the bars of
the "V":
run("Unsharp Mask...", "radius=10 mask=0.3");
Then you can try thresholding.
You can easily eliminate the remaining small blobs based on
their size (use "Analyze particles").
Hope this helps,
Michael
