Abstract

Medical image segmentation is a complex problem by reason of the wide range of image classes and aims to reach. It is usually achieved through the use of procedures which are solely fitted to one class and which integrate, in an opaque way, several kinds of knowledge. So a general strategy allowing to process some resolutely different microscopic image classes with the same approach is presented here. It deals with a region growing operator drawn from the mathematical morphology tool that is the watershed transformation and combines image features in an adaptive way.
