Simplicial and cubical complexes are used to model discrete images and
discrete surfaces (such as triangulated meshes). They constitute a
rich framework to handle topological notions such as the one of
collapse (a discrete analog of a continuous deformation) from which
discrete homotopic skeletons can be defined.
This talk will be focused on watersheds in (weighted) simplicial
complexes. Our first contribution states that any watershed in a
(weighted) simplicial complex of dimension n is a simplicial complex
of dimension n-1. Then, we establish, through an equivalence theorem,
a link between (binary and grayscale) skeletons and watersheds.
Finally, we will show that the problem of computing a watershed in a
simplicial complex can be reduced to the one of computing a watershed
cut in edge-weighted graph.

Jean Cousty received his Ingénieur's degree from the École Supérieure
d'Ingénieurs en Électrotechnique et Électronique (ESIEE Paris, France)
in 2004 and the Ph.D. degree from the Université de Marne-la-Vallée
(France) in 2007. He received the special award in 2008 from the
AFRIF association (French Association for Pattern Recognition and
Interpretation) for his PhD dissertation.
After a one-year post-doctoral period in the ASCLEPIOS research team
at INRIA (Sophia-Antipolis, France) with Nicholas Ayache and Xavier
Pennec, he is now teaching and doing research with the Informatics
Department, ESIEE Paris, and with the Institut Gaspard Monge,
Université Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée. His current research interests
include medical image analysis, 3D mesh processing and discrete
mathematics.
