MATLAB: How to extract object after edge-detection

edge detectionextractImage Processing Toolboxwatershed

I have a picture that consists of 4 people. My goal is to extract the four people based on the edge detection only. Is it possible? If yes how do I make the approach?

Threshold to find the people, then use watershed. See this for an example: http://blogs.mathworks.com/steve/2006/06/02/cell-segmentation/
