Traditional Graph-Cut algorithm traverses all pixels at each time of computation; consequently, it consumes a lot of time. This paper improves on Graph-Cut algorithm based on characteristics of Watershed. The basic theory is to insert watershed into Graph-Cut to conduct pre-segmentation on image. With watershed, image is divided into regions which have different sizes and pixel color similarities. Images processed by watershed algorithm are converted into weighted undirected graph; and then translate energy function on pixel into that graph on separate regions after pre-segmentation. Performance of test programs has proved that the improved Graph-Cut algorithm can increase workload of user interaction mark effectively. As long as workload considered in the interaction process, improved Graph-Cut algorithm can achieve ideal segmentation effect even on complex background.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
