The present paper develops a general methodology for the morphological segmentation of hyperspectral images, i.e., with an important number of channels. This approach, based on watershed, is composed of a spectral classification to obtain the markers and a vectorial gradient which gives the spatial information. Several alternative gradients are adapted to the different hyperspectral functions. Data reduction is performed either by Factor Analysis or by model fitting. Image segmentation is done on different spaces: factor space, parameters space, etc. On all these spaces the spatial/spectral segmentation approach is applied, leading to relevant results on the image.

The present paper introduces the $η$ and η connections in order to add regional information on $λ$-flat zones, which only take into account a local information. A top-down approach is considered. First $λ$-flat zones are built in a way leading to a sub-segmentation. Then a finer segmentation is obtained by computing $η$-bounded regions and $μ$-geodesic balls inside the $λ$-flat zones. The proposed algorithms for the construction of new partitions are based on queues with an ordered selection of seeds using the cumulative distance. $η$-bounded regions offers a control on the variations of amplitude in the class from a point, called center, and $μ$-geodesic balls controls the "size" of the class. These results are applied to hyperspectral images.
