A Watershed-Based Segmentation Technique for Multiresolution Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new watershed-based technique is proposed for the segmentation of multiresolution remote-sensing images. These images are composed by a high-resolution panchromatic band and a low-resolution multispectral set. To achieve a segmentation with the high resolution of the panchromatic image and the high accuracy granted by the spectral information, the two components are processed jointly, using both spectral and morphological properties. In addition, a fully automatic marker generation procedure is introduced to reduce the oversegmentation typical of watershed methods. Experiments on WorldView-2 multiresolution images demonstrate the potential of the technique.

A Novel Spot-Enhancement Anisotropic Diffusion Method for the Improvement of Segmentation in Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Images, Based on the Watershed Transform Algorithm
Introduction Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. In this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. Watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. Nevertheless, in 2DGE image segmentation, the no...
متن کاملWavelet based Marker-Controlled Watershed Segmentation Technique for High Resolution Satellite Images
Image analysis requires a segmentation step to distinguish the significant components of the image, i.e., the foreground from the background. As a step prior to image classification the quality of the segmentation is of significant importance. Highresolution satellite image classification using standard per-pixel approaches is difficult because of the high volume of data, as well as high spatia...
متن کاملMultiresolution-based watersheds for efficient image segmentation
This paper presents an efficient method for image segmentation based on a multiresolution application of a wavelet transform and watershed segmentation algorithm. The procedure toward complete segmentation consists of four steps: pyramid representation, image segmentation, region merging and region projection. First, pyramid representation creates multiresolution images using a wavelet transfor...

This paper presents a method for the segmentation of membrane images acquired with transmission electron microscopes (TEM) for classification purposes. It relies on a multiresolution representation of the image to detect the edges at appropriate scales by an adaptive thresholding of the gradient images. The edges found at the different scales are combined and homogeneous regions are extracted w...
