Hi, Regarding the bug you mentioned, I just proposed a fix: https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/issues/803 I found the bug by noticing that the variable "age" was incremented without being used. Of course, as Emmanuelle mentioned, the bug is also in the CellProfiler code, who might be interested in the fix (CC-ed).

Hi Daniel,
you might want to ask the question on the cell profiler mailing-list as well since it's their implementation that was included in scikit-image (cellprofiler-dev

Hi Daniel,
Actually there's a known bug [1]_ in the scikit-image implementation (which is originally from CellProfiler). I haven't figured it out yet, nor do I know what the exact differences are to the paper. (And most images are unaffected.) Are you looking to use the implementation or are you trying to implement your own as a learning strategy? If the latter, you might want to have a look at my own implementation [2]_ in gala, for which I tried to follow the paper exactly. But it's way slower.
Juan.

I'm trying to implement the watershed algorithm described in this

Python. Looking at the watershed function in skimage.morphology,
it's not
clear to me whether this function is an exact implementation of
Vincent &
Soille's method. The docstring for morphology says, "Some ideas
taken from
. . ." and lists an older (by one year) paper by Soille. "Some
ideas"
seems to suggest that the implementation is not exact, but where the differences are is not clear. I've read through the morphology
source
code, as well as the C code it draws upon, but I'm getting tangled
up
trying to translate between Vincent and Soille's description and the
C/
Python code in skimage. Can anyone provide a clear and complete explanation of what exactly skimage.morphology.watershed does
relative to
the Vincent and Soille 1991 method?
Many thanks, Dan
