An Improved Watershed Segmentation Method of Medical Image

Article Preview

Abstract:

The image segmentation is very important in medical image processing. The paper studies the watershed segmentation, and over-segmentation is the main problem of watershed. Based on this, the paper proposed an improved watershed medical image segmentation method. And the corresponding simulation is done and the result show that the method can resolve the over-segmentation of watershed and can achieve good segmentation.
