Are there any open source implementation of the snakes or watershed segmentation algorithms? [closed]

Question

I'm working in a graduation project whose goal is to perform a comparative analysis of segmentation algorithms.

I have implemented in C++ a few segmentation algorithms in a undergraduate research project that I have participated (Otsu's method and the EM/MPM algorithm for example).

I am planning to compare the algorithms that I have implemented with the snakes and watershed segmentation. However, it is not my intention to implement those algorithms. So, what I would like to know if there is a open source image processing library that implements those algorithms. It would be better if the implementation were in C/C++, but Java, Python, etc.. are also OK.

ITK might be a solution for you.

Cit.: Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK). ITK is an open-source, cross-platform system that provides developers with an extensive suite of software tools for image analysis. Developed through extreme programming methodologies, ITK employs leading-edge algorithms for registering and segmenting multidimensional data. [...]

Despite of its "high level" goals, ITK is a collection of algorithms for segmentation and feature extraction mostly used in medicine. Check for active contour when looking for snake-based techniques.
