Good Grayscale Watershed Algorithm?

[Nathaniel Ryckman]

Is there a good grayscale watershed algorithm?

Here's the situation that I am in.

1) I created a Macro level grayscale watershed program to deal with some amorphous cells. The main problem is that I used Macro level programming instead of Java/Class level programming so the program is relatively slow and lacks some of the control that I needed to make it as precise as I would like it to be. None-the-less, it works better than MaximumFinder.java in terms of getting results.

2) I spent the last couple days pulling apart MaximumFinder.java to see how it works because it solves some of the precision issues I was having in my Macro program and is obviously faster than my Macro program. The problem is that MaximumFinder.java has a couple large conceptual problems that my Macro program could solve.

I just wanted to make sure that I am not reinventing the wheel before merging my Macro program with MaximumFinder. Any recommendations?

I'm just letting everyone know that I'm still looking for a good grayscale watershed program if there is one.

I have finally combined my macro program with the FindMaximum.java watershed program to get some pretty good results. After a make a few more tweaks and, if I have time to polish the plugin a bit, I'll try to post the result for everyone to use.

One last time, if there is a GOOD GRAYSCALE WATERSHED plugin, PLEASE tell me :-). Thanks!
