Re: [GRASS-user] Is Watershed image segmentation program in GRASS GIS?

[Leonardo Hardtke]

Hi there...

I used r.grow to segment dNBR images to map wildfires. See:

Hope it helps...

Hi All,

Is watershed image segmentation program or a similar module available in
GRASS GIS?

I understand that we have r.watershed, i.segment and r.grow in GRASS
GIS. But I do not know which one best suits my problem.

The problem is:

I have two layers of raster data -
1.) a gradient image (obtained by applying a 3 x 3 sobel filter on a
water index using r.mapcalc), and
2.) a seed image of 2 classes labelled as "1" and "2" and remaining
pixels as "0".

I want to use the seed image and the gradient image (which shows
direction of change in intensity) information to perform segmentation
using the watershed algorithm and label all "0" pixels as either 1 or 2.

r.watershed does not use watershed segmentation algorithm. i.segment is
something close but I am not sure.

Please suggest.

Any comment is appreciated.


Currently GRASS GIS only proposes a region-growing segmentation 
algorithm in i.segment.


However, even though it is not really made for this, and I'm not sure of 
the exact algorithm used in r.watershed, this module can be used for 
image segmentation. One caveat are the edges which r.watershed treats in 
a particular manner, but I'm sure a work-around is possible.
