Fast Watershed Transformation
نویسنده
چکیده
The Fast watershed transform is an innovative approach that detects salient objects in an image. This transformation is entirely different from traditional watershed as it doesn’t depend on mathematical morphology. The flooding of water in the image is efficiently simulated using the FIFO queue of pixels. It starts with sorting image pixel according to their intensity levels and stores them in their corresponding FIFO structure. This can be implemented using chain code algorithm. In addition it is faster than any other watershed algorithm. Integrating this fast watershed with energy based segmentation leads to a new segmentation method called fast water snakes.

A fast watershed algorithm based on chain code and its application in image segmentation
In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for the watershed transformation. This new algorithm is based on chain code. The traditional concept of chain code is first expanded into point-out chain code and point-in chain code. Then two theorems, which depict how to make watershed transformation based on chain code, are proposed and proved. In the end, the description of this new algorithm is ...
متن کاملImplementing Interactive 3D Segmentation on CUDA Using Graph-Cuts and Watershed Transformation
In this paper we present a novel scheme for a very fast implementation of volumetric segmentation using graph cuts. The main benefit of this work is our approach to non-grid region adjacency processing on CUDA which to our knowledge has not been done yet in any efficient way. The watershed transform radically reduces the number of vertices for graph processing. Everything starting from watershe...
متن کاملFast Segmentation Methods Based on Partial Differential Equations and the Watershed Transformation
Segmentation algorithms are presented which combine regu-larization by nonlinear partial diierential equations (PDEs) with a watershed transformation with region merging. We develop eecient algorithms for two well-founded PDE methods. They use an additive operator splitting (AOS) leading to recursive and separable lters. Further speed-up can be obtained by embedding AOS schemes into a pyramid f...
متن کامل3d Hierarchical Segmentation Using the Markers for the Watershed Transformation
This paper describes an approach for 3D triangular meshes segmentation. The method that we adopt for the 3D mesh segmentation is based on the unbiased hierarchical queue which has been used for 2D images. Our method uses the hierarchical transformation on a connected faces structure. The approach that we propose is based on the principal curvature to calculate the faces curvature. The results s...
متن کاملA Kind of CTA Bone Removal Technology Based on the Improved Watershed Algorithm
Based on analyzing the drawbacks existing in traditional watershed algorithms for bone removal from CTA (Computed Tomography Angiography, CTA), this paper presents an improved interactive watershed algorithm. The improved watershed algorithm is based on sorting and graded overflow of fast watershed algorithms, and the merging process of catchment basins is intervened by a merging threshold whic...
