Improving Watershed Algorithm with a Histogram Driven Methodology and Implementation of the System on a Virtex 5 Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
Watershed algorithm as was introduced by Vincent and Soille is a segmentation algorithm based on the inundation process of the image gradient which is observed as a relief. It aims at finding the peaks in the image gradient called watersheds and identifying them as the image contours. Due to its flexibility and rapidity, this algorithm is used in several applications. However, its main drawback is the over segmentation .In this paper, we improve this technique by introducing a histogram driven methodology.

This paper deals with analyzing gyroscope drift error in the position-independent navigation algorithm of a stable platform inertial system. Most of the stable platform navigation algorithms proposed in the literature have drawbacks of estimating position rates for alignment commands. Not only the estimating position rates are the basic source of position errors, but they also make the alignmen...
