Method for superpixel life cycle management

摘要

Abstract Method for superpixel life cycle management 5 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 10 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. Fig. 8 Determine change of area occupied by superpixel Terminate superpixel when superpixel gets too small Split superpixel when superpixel gets too large Fig. 8 Determine similarity of instances of superpixel Compare similarity with threshold Repc 6 Replace superpixel if similarity is below threshold Fig. 9
