Abstract
A method and an apparatus for generating a superpixel cluster for an image or a sequence of images. A primary clustering unit generates a primary superpixel cluster using a fixed reference superpixel, whereas a secondary clustering unit generates two or more secondary superpixel clusters using a propagating reference superpixel. A combining unit then combines intersections between the primary superpixel cluster and the two or more secondary superpixel clusters to generate a final superpixel cluster.
