The main goal of this paper is to evaluate the potential of some combinations of watershed hierarchies. We also propose a new combination based on merging level sets of hierarchies. Experiments were performed on natural image datasets and were based on evaluating the segmentations extracted from level sets of each hierarchy against the image ground truths. Our experiments show that most of combinations studied here are superior to their individual counterparts, which opens a path for a deeper investigation on combination of hierarchies.
