An Improved Watershed Image Segmentation Technique Using MATLAB
نویسنده
چکیده
Watershed Transformation in mathematical morphology is a powerful tool for image segmentation. Watershed transformation based segmentation is generally marker controlled segmentation. This paper purposes a novel method of image segmentation that includes image enhancement and noise removal techniques with the Prewitt’s edge detection operator. The proposed method is evaluated and compared to existing method. The results show that the proposed method could effectively reduce the over segmentation effect and achieve more accurate segmentation results than the existing method.

Marker Based Watershed Transformation for Image Segmentation
The image segmentation is one of the most challenging tasks in the field of image processing and pattern recognition. Watershed transform is a technique that always generates closed contours for every region of an image and one of the best techniques used for image segmentation but over segmentation is a major drawback of this method for which present study was undertaken to devise a new three ...
متن کاملColor Image Segmentation Using Improved Region Growing and K-Means Method
In areas such as computer vision and image processing, image segmentation has been and still is a relevant research area due to its wide spread usage and application. The traditional segmentation technique which is used in gray-scale mathematical morphology is watershed transform. Region Growing is an approach to image segmentation in which neighbouring pixels are examined and added to a region...
متن کاملObjects Counting Using Mark-Controlled Watershed Transform
This paper introduces the object counting using the mark controlled watershed transforms. Watershed transform is usually adopted for image segmentation in the area of image processing and image analysis because it always generates closed contours for each region in the original image. This method is good choice for image segmentation in the field of mathematical morphology. In this paper we are...
متن کاملBrain Tumor Image Edge & Watershed Segmentation and Denoising Using DWT
Image segmentation is a mechanism used to divide an image into multiple segments. It will make image smooth and easy to evaluate. Segmentation process also helps to find region of interest in a particular image. The main goal is to make image more simple and meaningful. Existing segmentation techniques can’t satisfy all type of images. The scope of the paper is to evaluate the brain tumor image...
