Watershed Algorithm

Watershed Algorithm

Separates overlapping objects in an image. Segmenting an image into distinct regions based on pixel intensity values

The watershed algorithm treats pixel intensities as a topographic surface where:

  • High-intensity pixels represent peaks (elevations).
  • Low-intensity pixels represent valleys (depressions).
  • Convert the image to grayscale.
  • Apply a threshold to create a binary image.
  • Perform distance transform and find sure foreground objects.
  • Detect unknown regions and mark the background and foreground.
  • Apply the watershed algorithm to segment the image.
