Watershed cuts: Minimum spanning forests and the drop of water principle

…, G Bertrand, L Najman, M Couprie - IEEE transactions on …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study the watersheds in edge-weighted graphs. We define the watershed cuts following
the intuitive idea of drops of water flowing on a topographic surface. We first establish the …

Building the component tree in quasi-linear time

L Najman, M Couprie - IEEE Transactions on image processing, 2006 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The level sets of a map are the sets of points with level above a given threshold. The connected
components of the level sets, thanks to the inclusion relation, can be organized in a tree …

Watershed cuts: Thinnings, shortest path forests, and topological watersheds

…, G Bertrand, L Najman, M Couprie - IEEE Transactions on …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We recently introduced watershed cuts, a notion of watershed in edge-weighted graphs. In
this paper, our main contribution is a thinning paradigm from which we derive three …

Topological gray-scale watershed transformation

M Couprie, G Bertrand - Vision Geometry VI, 1997 - spiedigitallibrary.org
We propose an original approach to the watershed problem, based on topology. We
introduce a 1D topology for grayscale images, and more generally for weighted graphs. This …

Segmentation of 4D cardiac MRI: Automated method based on spatio-temporal watershed cuts

J Cousty, L Najman, M Couprie… - Image and Vision …, 2010 - Elsevier
Based on discrete mathematical morphology, we introduce in this paper a new watershed
framework which allows for segmenting spatio-temporal images, that we apply to medical …

Discrete bisector function and Euclidean skeleton in 2D and 3D

M Couprie, D Coeurjolly, R Zrour - Image and Vision Computing, 2007 - Elsevier
We propose a new definition and an algorithm for the discrete bisector function, which is an
important tool for analyzing and filtering Euclidean skeletons. We also introduce a new …

Quasi-linear algorithms for the topological watershed

M Couprie, L Najman, G Bertrand - Journal of Mathematical Imaging and …, 2005 - Springer
The watershed transformation is an efficient tool for segmenting grayscale images. An original
approach to the watershed (Bertrand, Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, Vol. 22…

New characterizations of simple points in 2D, 3D, and 4D discrete spaces

M Couprie, G Bertrand - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A point of a discrete object is called simple if it can be deleted from this object without altering
topology. In this article, we present new characterizations of simple points which hold in …

Video segmentation based on 2D image analysis

SJF Guimaraes, M Couprie… - Pattern Recognition …, 2003 - Elsevier
The video segmentation problem consists in the identification of the boundary between
consecutive shots. The common approach to solve this problem is based on dissimilarity …

Topological operators for grayscale image processing

M Couprie, FN Bezerra… - Journal of Electronic …, 2001 - spiedigitallibrary.org
In recent work, we introduced some topological notions for grayscale images based on a
cross-section topology. In particular, the notion of destructible point, which corresponds to the …
