Abstract
Morphological mathematics is a powerful tool for image segmentation. The watershed is popularly used for multiple object images. In this paper, a new watershed algorithm without considering accurate boundary information is presented, for grey scale image segmentation, and Morphological mathematics is also used for cluster splitting. The result of running this algorithm shows that blood cell image can be well segmented using the proposed algorithm. A genetic algorithm is suggested for the further study.
