Abstract
Image segmentation is a significant task for image analysis which is at the middle layer of image engineering. The purpose of segmentation is to decompose the image into parts that are meaningful with respect to a particular application. The proposed system is to boost the morphological watershed method for degraded images. Proposed algorithm is based on merging morphological watershed result with enhanced edge detection result obtain on pre processing of degraded images. As a post processing step, to each of the segmented regions obtained, color histogram algorithm is applied, enhancing the overall performance of the watershed algorithm. Keywords – Segmentation, watershed, color histogra
