Using the Watershed algorithm for video data labeling
The Watershed algorithm is a popular technique used for image segmentation, and it can be adapted to label video data as well.
It is particularly effective in segmenting complex images with irregular boundaries and overlapping objects. Inspired by the natural process of watersheds in hydrology, the algorithm treats grayscale or gradient images as topographic maps, where each pixel represents a point on the terrain. By simulating the flooding of basins from different regions, the Watershed algorithm divides the image into distinct regions or segments.
In this section, we will explore the concept of the Watershed algorithm in detail. We will discuss its underlying principles, the steps involved in the algorithm, and its applications in various fields. Additionally, we will provide practical examples and code implementations to illustrate how the Watershed algorithm can be applied to segment and label video data.
