xcv_watershed_markers — 2D segmentation op

Data kinds: imageregion

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "xcv_watershed_markers", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: watersheds (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

Usage

Boundary extraction via marker-controlled watershed.

HALCON の `watersheds`(ウォーターシェッドと分水嶺盆地を抽出する)に

相当するが、ここでは盆地のラベルではなく 分水嶺の境界線 だけを

region として返す(近似)。

手順は古典的な OpenCV レシピ: Otsu 二値化 -> 膨張で「確実な背景」推定

-> 距離変換のしきい値で「確実な前景」推定 -> 両者の差分を「不明」領域

とし、確実な前景の連結成分をマーカーに `cv2.watershed` を実行。

`a` が確実な前景を決めるしきい値を距離変換最大値の 30%〜70% の範囲

で振る(大きいほど前景マーカーが小さく・保守的になり、過分割/過統合

の傾向が変わる)。`b` は未使用。
