Method for superpixel life cycle management

摘要

A method and an apparatus for life cycle management for superpixels associated to frames of a sequence of frames are described. An area occupied by a superpixel in a frame of the sequence of frames is monitored. In case the area of the superpixel becomes smaller than a specified first value, the superpixel is terminated (2) in the later frame. In case the area of the superpixel becomes larger than a specified second value, the superpixel is split (3) in the later frame.
