Abstract:Abstract.A new segmentation method is presented. The watershed transformation is initially computed starting from all seeds detected as regional minima in the gradient image and a digging cost is associated to each pair of adjacent regions. Digging is performed for each pair of adjacent regions for which the cost is under a threshold, whose value is computed automatically, so originating a reduced set of seeds. Watershed transformation and digging are repeatedly applied, until no more seeds are filtered out. T… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
