A marker-controlled watershed segmentation: Edge, mark and fill
Raffaele Gaetano, Giuseppe Masi, Giuseppe Scarpa, Giovanni Poggi · 2012
The segmentation of very high resolution (VHR) images portraying complex urban scenarios is a rather challenging problem. In particular, great attention must be devoted to preserve fine man-made details, of major interest for most user applications. For this reason, edge-based segmentation methods are likely preferable to region-based methods. The latter, in fact, e.g. [1], [2], succeed in taking into account long range interactions and hence perform typically well in terms of “global” accuracy, but exhibit a lower “local” accuracy with respect to former, [3].
