[Insight-users] References?

[Joshua Cates]

Hello Koen,


The best description of the watersheds implementation in ITK can be found 
in the ITK Software Guide. See http://www . itk . org/HTML/Documentation . htm . 

The closest published implementation is probably the following reference.  
The biggest difference being obviously that in ITK the algorithm is
applied to images and not meshes.

@Article{Mangan1999,
  author =       "Alan P. Mangan and Ross T. Whitaker",
  title =        "Partitioning {3D} Surface Meshes Using Watershed
                  Segmentation",
  journal =      "IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer 
Graphics",
  year =         "1999",
  volume =       "5",
  number =       "4",
  pages =        "308--321",
  month =        "October/December",
}


Hope this helps,

Josh.
