METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING SUPERPIXEL CLUSTERS

摘要

A method and an apparatus (20) for generating a superpixel cluster for an image or a sequence of images are described. A primary clustering unit (23) generates (10) a primary superpixel cluster using a fixed reference superpixel, whereas a secondary clustering unit (24) generates (11) two or more secondary superpixel clusters using a propagating reference superpixel. A combining unit (25) then combines (12) intersections between the primary superpixel cluster and the two or more secondary superpixel clusters to generate a final superpixel cluster.
