Segmentation of Lumbar Spine Image Using Watershed Algorithm

Abstract In the previous paper the medical images detect the edges and boundaries using various edge detection algorithms. Several disadvantages to apply edge detection in medical image such as noise sensitivity, inaccurate does not responding to some of edges and major drawbacks (i) complicated (ii)complex computations. But in proposed systemising watershed algorithm to detect the boundaries and edges in medical images. There is internal and external markers and its has global thresholding, region merging and splitting or watershed transform
