scipy.ndimage.watershed_ift¶

scipy.ndimage.watershed_ift(input, markers, structure=None, output=None)[source]¶

Apply watershed from markers using image foresting transform algorithm.

Parameters:

Parameters:	input : array_like Input. markers : array_like Markers are points within each watershed that form the beginning of the process. Negative markers are considered background markers which are processed after the other markers. structure : structure element, optional A structuring element defining the connectivity of the object can be provided. If None, an element is generated with a squared connectivity equal to one. output : ndarray, optional An output array can optionally be provided. The same shape as input.
Returns:	watershed_ift : ndarray Output. Same shape as input.
