Using this function you can attempt to separate objects that are touching (and that you have been unable to separate using segmentation) automatically.

Parameter

Description

Separation Mode

-

Morphology

This method separates objects by first reducing and then enlarging them, making sure that once objects have been separated they do not merge together again.

-

Watersheds

With this method you can separate objects that are roughly the same shape. This method may however result in the splitting of elongated objects.

Count

Enter how often the method is applied successively to the result at the location of the separation, using the slider or input field.
