Algorithm used in Watershed effect in Segment Editor

@lassoan could you please guide me to relevant documentation of the watershed effect implemented on the 3D slicer detailing the algorithm implemented?

Thanks

This effect uses MorphologicalWatershedFromMarkersImageFilter class in ITK. See the full implementation here:

            featureImage = sitk.GradientMagnitudeRecursiveGaussian(backgroundImage, float(self.scriptedEffect.doubleParameter("ObjectScaleMm")))

            del backgroundImage

            f = sitk.MorphologicalWatershedFromMarkersImageFilter()

            f.SetMarkWatershedLine(False)

            f.SetFullyConnected(False)

            labelImage = f.Execute(featureImage, labelImage)

Hi @lassoan.
Thank you very much for the reply.
I would like to know what the algorithm is called. Is it marker controlled watershed transformation algorithm?

Thanks

You can find an details about the algorithm in this paper: https://doi.org/10.54294/lf8u75
