Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing a superpixel image segmentation technique using a boundary preserving distance metric are disclosed. The disclosed technique segments a digital image into superpixels comprising contiguous pixel regions sharing similar characteristics. Superpixel image segmentation techniques presented herein utilize a boundary preserving distance metric. A boundary preserving distance metric presented herein measures the similarity between two pixels of a digital image at least partially based on a boundary probability values of the two pixels and surrounding pixels.
