Abstract

In this paper we present a parallel implementation of an image segmentation transform - the watershed algorithm. The algorithm is implemented using the message passing paradigm, with both PVM and MPI and is adapted to a specific application of determining the volume of liquor from CT-scans. Our watershed algorithm is applied on 2D images from cranial CT-scans to extract the liquor parts from them. The evaluation on a distributed memory system is included.
