Efficient GPU Asynchronous Implementation of a Watershed Algorithm Based on Cellular Automata

The watershed transform is a widely used method for non-supervised image segmentation, especially suitable for low-contrast images. In this paper we show that an algorithm calculating the watershed transform based on a cellular automaton is a good choice for the most recent GPU architectures, especi...
