    This study introduces a color image segmentation algorithm using the watershed algorithm on smoothed color histograms. The method ensures accurate segmentation in perceptually uniform color spaces like Luv to prevent oversegmentation.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Image Processing
    • Color Science

    Background:

    • Color image segmentation is crucial for image analysis.
    • Existing methods may suffer from oversegmentation.
    • Perceptually uniform color spaces are vital for human-like color perception.

    Discussion:

    • The proposed algorithm utilizes the watershed algorithm for image segmentation.
    • It operates on either two-dimensional (2-D) or three-dimensional (3-D) color histograms.
    • Segmentation is performed in perceptually uniform color spaces, specifically Luv space, for accurate color representation.

    Key Insights:

    • Applying the watershed algorithm to a smoothed histogram effectively mitigates oversegmentation.
    • The use of Luv color space ensures segmentation aligns with human color perception.
