Image segmentation is one of the core task in image processing. Traditionally such operation is performed starting from single pixels requiring a significant amount of computations. It has been shown that superpixels can be used to improve segmentation performance. In this work we propose a novel superpixel-based hierarchical approach for image segmentation that works by iteratively merging nodes of a weighted undirected graph initialized with the superpixels regions. Proper metrics to drive the regions merging are proposed and experimentally validated using the standard Berkeley Dataset. Our analysis shows that the proposed algorithm runs faster than state of the art techniques while providing accurate segmentation results both in terms of visual and objective metrics. |
