New paper details algorithms for hierarchical watershed segmentation

This paper presents a comprehensive pipeline for computing hierarchical watershed segmentations using edge-weighted graph algorithms. It reviews existing literature and details a step-by-step process from graph-based image representation to connected component computation. The work aims to consolidate various watershed notions and algorithms, including supervised and unsupervised versions, for easier implementation and application. AI

IMPACT Provides a consolidated reference for watershed segmentation algorithms, potentially aiding researchers in computer vision tasks.

    Playing with Kruskal: algorithms for flat and hierarchical watershed cuts

    arXiv:2610.10012v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In the framework of edge-weighted graphs, watersheds have proven to be linked to well-known optimization problems, as Minimum Spanning Tree, which allowed the design of efficient algorithms for computing (hierarchical) watershed seg…
