Abstract

We present here watershed segmentation method for the segmentation of knee cartilage. Watershed segmentation is a state of the art method and involves great simplicity of application. MRI images of the knee cartilages are used for segmenting and early detection of the osteoarthritis. MRI images offer better visualization of the soft tissues like cartilage still visualization of the tissues prone to damage is needed to be detected earlier. However, the method incorporates noise while segmentation stills its great simplicity attracts researchers for its use.
