This page illustrates AdoIC's interactive
watershed segmentation that has been suggested by F. Meyer.
The axial MRI image of the brain (top
left) was dilated or eroded (not shown). Their difference was scaled
up from 50 to 255 and markers (gray level=0) were imposed interactively
(top middle). Meyer's watershed found the outline of the lateral
ventricle (top right). Markers at the lower center image were imposed
to find the outline of the brain gray matter (lower left).
The corpus callosum (left) and the
cerebellum (right) were some of distinctive features in the sagittal image
of the brain. In this type of the brain image, the whole brain is
not well outlined. Meyer's watershed does not detect the ideal contour
of the brain mainly due to the strong gradient between the scalp
and the skull.
