Step 5: Convert Objects of Interest

Because the watershed transform detects intensity "valleys" in an image, the example uses the imcomplement function on the enhanced image to highlight the intensity valleys.

• Iec = imcomplement(Ienhance);
  figure, imshow(Iec), title('complement of enhanced image');
