A Watershed segmentation algorithm is an algorithm which utilizes watershed segmentation to segment images. [1]

Method

  1. Invert and filter the data
  2. Segment the data.
  3. Measure the attributes of each region.
  4. Select regions based on their attributes.
  5. Reiterate the algorithm (If necessarily).

Uses

Watershed segmentation has countless uses. The list provided here is just an example of functions, and is by no means exhaustive.

  • Analysis of aerial photos from disaster area's to detect building collapses.
  • Analysis of medical images to differentiate tumors from regular body tissue
