abstract = "Image segmentation using tree pruning (TP) and watershed (WS) has
been presented in the framework of the image forest transform
(IFT) a method to reduce image processing problems related to
connectivity into an optimumpath forest problem in a graph. Given
that both algorithms use the IFT with similar parameters, they
usually produce similar segmentation results. However, they rely
on different properties of the IFT which make TP more robust than
WS for automatic segmentation tasks. We propose and demonstrate an
important improvement in the TP algorithm, clarify the differences
between TP and WS, and provide their comparative analysis from the
theoretical and practical points of view. The experiments involve
automatic segmentation of license plates in a database with 990
images.",
