Segmentation of range image based on morphology watershed

This paper presented a method of range image segmentation based on Morphological Watershed. At first, the edges are extracted by morphological edge detector and edge map is thresholded, then watershed is introduced to finish the last segmentation. The experiment shows the better performance.
