Abstract: We describe a new method for the generation of superpixels which can be implemented using watershed transformation. Our method aims at the extraction process of local and global impression of a given image. We propose a gradient-based low level segmentation process inorder to fulfill the adherence property of the segmented image. We also show this as an efficient method to achieve the regularity and adherence property of the segmented image. Since we are dealing with marker controlled Watershed transformation technique, the problem of oversegmentation can be avoided to a great extreme. Here, we try to showcase ‘markerpixels’ as an efficient tool for the creation of superpixels using Watershed transformation.
