ITKImageProcessing (ITKImageProcessing)
Description¶
Watershed segmentation implementation with morphogical operators.
Watershed pixel are labeled 0. TOutputImage should be an integer type. Labels of output image are in no particular order. You can reorder the labels such that object labels are consecutive and sorted based on object size by passing the output of this filter to a RelabelComponentImageFilter .
The morphological watershed transform algorithm is described in Chapter 9.2 of Pierre Soille's book "Morphological Image Analysis: Principles and Applications", Second Edition, Springer, 2003.

Parameters¶
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Level | double | N/A |
| MarkWatershedLine | bool | Set/Get whether the watershed pixel must be marked or not. Default is true. Set it to false do not only avoid writing watershed pixels, it also decrease algorithm complexity. |
| FullyConnected | bool | Set/Get whether the connected components are defined strictly by face connectivity or by face+edge+vertex connectivity. Default is FullyConnectedOff. For objects that are 1 pixel wide, use FullyConnectedOn. |
Required Geometry¶
Image
Required Objects¶
| Kind | Default Name | Type | Component Dimensions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cell Attribute Array | None | N/A | (1) | Array containing input image |
Created Objects¶
| Kind | Default Name | Type | Component Dimensions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cell Attribute Array | None | uint32_t | (1) | Array containing filtered image |
