Method Details

watershedExpandLabels

public static void watershedExpandLabels(ImageProcessor ipLabels,
 double maxDistance,
 boolean conn8)

Expand non-zero regions in a labeled image up to a maximum distance, using a watershed transform to prevent region merging. The expansion is performed in-place.

Parameters:

ipLabels - labeled image, where values ≤ 0 represent the background

maxDistance - maximum expansion distance, in pixels

conn8 - if true, use 8-connectivity

doWatershed

public static void doWatershed(ImageProcessor ip,
 ImageProcessor ipLabels,
 boolean conn8)

Apply a watershed transform.

Parameters:

ip - intensity image

ipLabels - starting locations

conn8 - if true, use 8-connectivity rather than 4-connectivity

doWatershed

public static void doWatershed(ImageProcessor ip,
 ImageProcessor ipLabels,
 double minThreshold,
 boolean conn8)

Apply an intensity-constrained watershed transform, preventing regions from expanding to pixels below a specified minimum threshold

Parameters:

ip - intensity image

ipLabels - starting locations

minThreshold - minimum threshold

conn8 - if true, use 8-connectivity rather than 4-connectivity
