Abstract
Oversegmentation is a tough problem in the morphological watershed segmentation of irregular-shaped binary particles, which is usually caused by spurious minima in the inverse distance transform. The position relationship between two objects is clear, according to the value of overlap parameter defined in the paper, and an adaptive algorithm is presented to depress oversegmentation by building the criterion to merge the spurious local minima. Some particle images are provided to validate the performance of the proposed method.Keywords
