Watershed transform is a morphological image segmentation method which is widely used in medical image processing,
video processing and many other fields. The ultimate goal of the transform is to identify the objects of interest in the
input image. However, the main problem of watershed transform is its sensitivity to intensity variations, resulting in over
segmentation problem. The main goal of this work is to overcome the drawback of the traditional watershed algorithm.
The proposed algorithm in this paper is to retain the most significant regions of the image when the image is under noisy
conditions and the objects in the image have detailed textures.
