Abstract
In this work, we present a segmentation algorithm for color images tha t uses the watershed algorithm to segment either the two-dimensional ( 2-D) or the three-dimensional (3-D) color histogram of an image. For c ompliance with the way humans perceive color, this segmentation has to take place in a perceptually uniform color space like the Luv space, To avoid oversegmentation, the,watershed algorithm has to be applied t o a smoothed histogram.
