Abstract

Image segmentation utilizing the color and brightness of sections of the image to generate super-pixels is described herein. The image segmentation is implemented pixel-wise. A color triangle is utilized in the classification of the pixels. By using a hierarchical classification table, the memory usage is significantly reduced, and the image segmentation is able to be performed on-the-fly in real-time.
