Abstract

In this paper we present a parallel algorithm for the topo-
logical watershed, suitable for a shared memory parallel architecture. On
a 24-core machine an average speed-up of about 11 was obtained. The
method opens up possibilities for segmentation of gigapixel images such
as found in remote sensing routinely.
