Watershed on gray image

Hello,

I am trying to perform the watershed transform on a grayscaled image (edge map, to be precise), but the opencv implementation of watershed gives me the error that my image is not in 3 dimensions.

segmentation.cpp:147: error: (-210) Only 8-bit, 3-channel input images are supported in function cvWatershed

Why would this not be supported? Should I modify the watershed algorithm or implement my own based on grayscale images?

Best regards, Hans

I think you should check the channel of the image.Maye it's not grayscaled image.

It is, which is why it is giving an error. It expects a 3 channel image.

I agree this is annoying - even if you can add 2 dummy channels.

I made some small changes to cv::watershed, it works now on grayscale images as well.
