用Java实现分水岭分割

标签: java image-processing computer-vision image-segmentation watershed

我正在尝试为项目编写自己的Watershed Segmentation实现。我有一个版本,返回类似于正确分割的东西给出非常琐碎的图片。不幸的是,它超级慢/效率低,它可能会或可能不会在所有情况下终止。

我一直在使用Woods和Gonzales的“数字图像处理”中的描述,以及Watershed Wikipedia页面。一般算法编码并包含在下面,但我有一种感觉,我循环了很多我不需要的东西。我很感激这里的任何和所有帮助,提前谢谢。

    public static Set<Point> watershed(double[][] im) {

    //Get the Gradient Magnitude to use as our "topographic map."

    double t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    double[][] edges = EdgeDetection.sobelMagnitude(im);


    //Only iterate over values in the gradient magnitude to speed up.

    double[] histogram = Image.getHistogram(edges);
    Image.drawHistogram(histogram, Color.red);
    int minPixelValue = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < histogram.length; i++) {
        if (histogram[i] > 0) {
            minPixelValue = i;
            break;
        }
    }
    int h = im.length;
    int w = im[0].length;

    //SE is a 3x3 structuring element for morphological dilation.
    boolean[][] SE = {{true, true, true}, {true, true, true}, {true, true, true}};

    //Keeping track of last iteration's components to see if two flooded together.
    ArrayList<Set<Point>> lastComponents = connectedComponents(getSet(EdgeDetection.underThreshold(edges, minPixelValue + 1)));
    ArrayList<Set<Point>> components;
    Set<Point> boundary = new HashSet<Point>();

    for (int i = minPixelValue + 1; i < 256; i++) {
        if (histogram[i] != 0) {

看起来算法最多为O(n ^ 2)。 你有很多嵌套循环..我无法找到伍兹的描述。 Christopher Mei的这段代码实现了算法:它是一个非常简单的实现。
