PURPOSE: A method for treating an image/video and a method for segmenting an image/video object are provided to automatically segment the image/video without intervening by a user. CONSTITUTION: A semantic object is defined in an image. A pixel value of pixels in the defined semantic object is combined with a predetermined label based on a water marking, thereby labelling the semantic object. When the semantic object is defined in the image, an original image is divided into small blocks without overlapping small blocks with each other(202). In addition, the small blocks are grouped by a user in such a manner that the small blocks belonged to the same object are grouped(204). Then, image data including the labeled semantic object is compressed by using a predetermined image compression method(210). The compressed image data is stored in a predetermined data base(212). |
