Abstract
Method and apparatus for generating superpixel clusters A method and an apparatus () for generating a superpixel cluster for an image are described. A clustering unit () generates () an initial superpixel cluster based on an initial cluster center. The clustering unit () further generates () one or more further superpixel clusters based on one or more further cluster centers. A determining unit () determines () the one or more further cluster centers from the initial superpixel cluster. A merger () then merges () the initial superpixel cluster and the one or more further superpixel clusters to obtain the superpixel cluster for the image.
