In this paper, we propose a watershed algorithm that applies a high-frequency enhancement filter to emphasize the boundary and a local adaptive threshold to search for minimum points. The previous method causes the problem of over-segmentation, and over- segmentation appears around the boundary of the object, creating an inaccurate boundary of the region. The proposed method applies a high-frequency enhancement filter that emphasizes the high-frequency region while preserving the low-frequency region, and performs a minimum point search to consider local characteristics. When merging regions, a fixed threshold is applied. As a result of the experiment, the proposed method reduced the number of segmented regions by about 58% while preserving the boundaries of the regions compared to when high frequency emphasis filters were not used.
