The watershed algorithm has been widely used in image segmentation for its characteristics of accurately positioning edge, simple operation and etc. But it also has drawbacks of easy to over-segmentation and loss important outline for the character of sensitive to noise. Aiming at the problem of over-segmentation of watershed algorithm, the paper brought out an improved image segmentation algorithm based on watershed, which can limit the number of existing regions that are allowed with combination pre-processing steps, so that the over-segmentation problem can be better solved. The result of experiment also verifies the correctness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm in the paper.
