A clear partial image of predetermined size can be segmented at high speed. The method for segmenting a partial image from a whole image comprising a plurality of pixels with gray levels comprises the steps of: inputting a number k of pixels of the partial image to be segmented; detecting a partial image maximizing: <IMAGE> where n is the number of pixels of the whole image, g(i, j) is the gray level of a pixel (i, j), alpha is a parameter, and |S| is the number of pixels of the partial image S; comparing the number |S| of pixels of the partial image S maximizing U alpha (S) with the inputted number k; increasing a value of alpha if |S|>k and decreasing the value of alpha if |S|<k; again executing the steps subsequent to the specifying step using the updated alpha ; and outputting said partial image S which maximizes U alpha (S) if |S|=k.
