Tool Superpixel Segmentation

The Superpixel Segmentation tool implements the 'Simple Linear Iterative Clustering' (SLIC) algorithm, an image segmentation method described in Achanta et al. (2010).

SLIC is a simple and efficient method to decompose an image in visually homogeneous regions. It is based on a spatially localized version of k-means clustering. Similar to mean shift or quick shift, each pixel is associated to a feature vector.

This tool is follows the SLIC implementation created by Vedaldi and Fulkerson as part of the VLFeat library.
