Abstract

The segmentation of medical images poses a great challenge in the area of image processing and analysis due mainly to noise, complex background, fuzzy and overlapping objects, and non-homogeneous gradients. This work uses the so-called locally constrained watershed transform introduced by Beare [1] to address these problems. The shape constraints introduced by this type of flexible watershed transformation permit to successfully segment and separate regions of interest. This type of watershed offers an alternative to other methods (such as distance function flooding) for particle extraction in medical imaging segmentation applications, where particle overlapping is quite common. Cytology images have been used for the experimental results. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-11:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 4.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 4 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 18.
