Hi All,
Is watershed image segmentation program or a similar module available in GRASS GIS?
I understand that we have r.watershed, i.segment and r.grow in GRASS GIS. But I do not know which one best suits my problem.
The problem is:
I have two layers of raster data -
1.) a gradient image (obtained by applying a 3 x 3 sobel filter on a water index using r.mapcalc), and
2.) a seed image of 2 classes labelled as “1” and “2” and remaining pixels as “0”.
I want to use the seed image and the gradient image (which shows direction of change in intensity) information to perform segmentation using the watershed algorithm and label all “0” pixels as either 1 or 2.
r.watershed does not use watershed segmentation algorithm. i.segment is something close but I am not sure.
Please suggest.
Any comment is appreciated.

Currently GRASS GIS only proposes a region-growing segmentation algorithm in i.segment.
However, even though it is not really made for this, and I'm not sure of the exact algorithm used in r.watershed, this module can be used for image segmentation. One caveat are the edges which r.watershed treats in a particular manner, but I'm sure a work-around is possible.

Hi there…
I used r.grow to segment dNBR images to map wildfires. See:

Hope it helps…

Hi Leonardo,
I went through the paper “Semi-automated_mapping_of_burned_areas_in_semi-arid_ecosystems_using_MODIS_time-series_imagery” and I am also trying to do something similar except that I want to separate water bodies.
Is it possible for you to share the GRASS code on segmentation (based on Pratt, W.K., 2001. Digital Image Processing. NY: Wiley-Interscience, New York, pp. 491–556.) which you executed as an ad hoc function in r.mapcalc.
Appreciate any help.
Uttam.
