Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for image segmentation with the fusion of morphological watershed transform(WST) and feed-back pulse coupled neural network (FPCNN). FPCNN is used as a pre-processor to locate the markers in the image automatically. Controlled by markers, WST can be applied to segment the image without over-segmentation problem.
