A novel multi-scale morphological Watershed segmentation algorithm

Abstract

Abstract—A novel segmentation algorithm is proposed in this paper for digital image segmentation. The specialized pre-processing set-up completely restores even the impulse corrupted images and generates all the information required for perfect segmentation. The algorithm works on the marker extractions of the gradient images obtained by multiscale morphological reconstruction and avoids oversegmentation vivid in Watershed algorithm. Experimental results add to the computational efficiency, shape maintaining, edge preserving and scale-calibrating features of the algorithm. The performance is also superior to most other standard segmentation algorithms. I.
