SUPERPIXEL GENERATION WITH IMPROVED SPATIAL COHERENCY

摘要

A method for generating superpixels for an image comprising pixels and an apparatus configured to perform the method. A clustering stage clusters the pixels into initial clusters. A determination stage then selects spatially coherent parts of the clusters and determines unconnected fragments of the clusters. Pixels of these unconnected fragments are iteratively assigned to adjacent clusters by an assignment stage using a contour evolution process.
