Watershed
This demonstration shows the segmentation of images by the watershed algorithm. The implementation is based on the immersion process analogy, using the gray levels as a topological relief.
The objects to be separated should be dark, i.e. low gray values.
We recommend smoothing the image in order to avoid over segmentation.
NEW : You can upload your own image into the applet.
Choose your image file and click on the button "Start the Applet Demonstration".
The applet accepts GIF or JPEG 256*256 pixels image (max size 1 Mb).

Examples
Instruction to use the applet
  1. Choose an input image in the list.
