# Watershed Segmentation
|
||
|
||
Segment a height field into grains using the two-stage Gwyddion watershed workflow: drop-based seed location followed by watershed growth. Supports hill or valley detection and optional union/intersection with an existing mask.
|
||
|
||
## Inputs
|
||
|
||
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|
||
|------|------|----------|-------------|
|
||
| field | DATA_FIELD | Yes | Input topographic field |
|
||
| mask | IMAGE | No | Optional existing mask to combine with the watershed result |
|
||
|
||
## Outputs
|
||
|
||
| Name | Type | Description |
|
||
|------|------|-------------|
|
||
| mask | IMAGE | Binary grain mask from watershed segmentation |
|
||
|
||
## Controls
|
||
|
||
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||
| invert_height | BOOLEAN | False | When True, detects valleys instead of hills (inverts the height field) |
|
||
| locate_steps | INT | 10 | Number of drop steps in the seed location stage (1–200) |
|
||
| locate_threshold | INT | 10 | Minimum drop threshold for seed acceptance (0–100000) |
|
||
| locate_drop_size | FLOAT | 0.1 | Relative drop size for seed location stage (0.0001–1.0) |
|
||
| watershed_steps | INT | 20 | Number of steps in the watershed growth stage (1–2000) |
|
||
| watershed_drop_size | FLOAT | 0.1 | Relative drop size for watershed growth stage (0.0001–1.0) |
|
||
| combine_mode | dropdown | replace | How to combine with an existing mask: replace (ignore existing), union (OR), or intersection (AND) |
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
- Parameter tuning is required; the default settings work best for isolated round features.
|
||
- Very large locate_threshold values may reject all seeds and produce an empty mask.
