anyone knows how to write a function in matlab to segment the characters using the watershed algorithm? any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I want to matlab code for segment characters(below image) using watershed algorithm ...? please any one help me to solve this ....?

Here is an image ..!

Have a read here and here. It will greatly improve your chances of getting an answer.

I will improve next time and please consider this question

tell me how to solve this ...?thank you

I'm suggesting you should improve this time. Show what you have tried and explain why that didn't work. This is not a forum where you can find a consultant to solve your problems, this is a forum where you can find people that will help you when you get stuck.

Why do you specifically need to use a watershed algorithm? It looks like thresholding followed by regionprops would also do the trick. Is it homework? If so, you'll learn nothing if people just provide code without you putting in any effort.

Thank you so much for your valuable suggestions

The above image does not have a linear space between the characters so I want to know how to segment nonlinear space between characters through watershed algorithm so that's why i'm asking this question ,actually i don't know watershed algorithm how it works , some one suggest me to segment touching character and nonlinear characters through watershed algorithm

This is not homework only self learning purpose and I seen too many examples but i did'nt get any proper results of my image ..!

please provide me code for this image through watershed algorithm and it is small thing but the small thing means a lot for me

please help me sir ....! thank you

That the space between the characters is non-linear doesn't really matter if you are looking at the area of blobs with approximately the same color (e.g. with regionprops after thresholding).

I would advise you to read the wiki-page on watershed. It will help you understand what is going on.

The link I provided advises to show what you tried and how it failed to do what you want. Apparently you have put in the effort, but you show none of it. Instead of Googling the same example as you found and pasting it here, I'm asking you to put the code you used here, so we can build on your work to solve this.
