WatershedCommand Class

Summary

Separates the image into different segments using the Watershed algorithm.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Java

Python

public class WatershedCommand : RasterCommand

@interface LTWatershedCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class WatershedCommand 
    extends RasterCommand

public ref class WatershedCommand : public RasterCommand

class WatershedCommand(RasterCommand):

Remarks

Each segment's pixels has the same color. The Watershed algorithm treats an image as if it were a topographic surface. The dark areas are basins. The light areas are the ridges around the basins.
The user is responsible for determining the number of output segments and the location of each segment in the input array.
This command supports 8, 16-bit grayscale and colored images and 24, 32-bit colored images.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
This command supports signed/unsigned images.
