Abstract
In one aspect, hierarchical image segmentation is applied to an image formed of a plurality of pixels, by classifying the pixels according to a hierarchical classification scheme, in which at least some of those pixels are classified by a parent level classifier in relation to a set of parent classes, each of which is associated with a subset of child classes, and each of those pixels is also classified by at least one child level classifier in relation to one of the subsets of child classes, wherein each of the parent classes corresponds to a category of visible structure, and each of the subset of child classes associated with it corresponds to a different type of visible structure within that category.
