Detailed Description

Class implementing the F-DBSCAN (Accelerated superpixel image segmentation with a parallelized DBSCAN algorithm) superpixels algorithm by Loke SC, et al. [171] for original paper.

The algorithm uses a parallelised DBSCAN cluster search that is resistant to noise, competitive in segmentation quality, and faster than existing superpixel segmentation methods. When tested on the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset, the average processing speed is 175 frames/s with a Boundary Recall of 0.797 and an Achievable Segmentation Accuracy of 0.944. The computational complexity is quadratic O(n2) and more suited to smaller images, but can still process a 2MP colour image faster than the SEEDS algorithm in OpenCV. The output is deterministic when the number of processing threads is fixed, and requires the source image to be in Lab colour format.

Member Function Documentation

getLabelContourMask()

virtual void cv::ximgproc::ScanSegment::getLabelContourMask ( OutputArray  image, bool  thick_line = false  )

pure virtual

Python:
	cv.ximgproc.ScanSegment.getLabelContourMask(	[, image[, thick_line]]	) ->	image

Returns the mask of the superpixel segmentation stored in the ScanSegment object.

The function return the boundaries of the superpixel segmentation.

Parameters

image	Return: CV_8UC1 image mask where -1 indicates that the pixel is a superpixel border, and 0 otherwise.
thick_line	If false, the border is only one pixel wide, otherwise all pixels at the border are masked.

getLabels()

virtual void cv::ximgproc::ScanSegment::getLabels ( OutputArray  labels_out )

pure virtual

Python:
	cv.ximgproc.ScanSegment.getLabels(	[, labels_out]	) ->	labels_out

Returns the segmentation labeling of the image.

Each label represents a superpixel, and each pixel is assigned to one superpixel label.

Parameters

labels_out

Return: A CV_32UC1 integer array containing the labels of the superpixel segmentation. The labels are in the range [0, getNumberOfSuperpixels()].

getNumberOfSuperpixels()

virtual int cv::ximgproc::ScanSegment::getNumberOfSuperpixels ( )

pure virtual

Python:
	cv.ximgproc.ScanSegment.getNumberOfSuperpixels(		) ->	retval

Returns the actual superpixel segmentation from the last image processed using iterate.

Returns zero if no image has been processed.

iterate()

virtual void cv::ximgproc::ScanSegment::iterate ( InputArray  img )

pure virtual

Python:
	cv.ximgproc.ScanSegment.iterate(	img	) ->	None

Calculates the superpixel segmentation on a given image with the initialized parameters in the ScanSegment object.

This function can be called again for other images without the need of initializing the algorithm with createScanSegment(). This save the computational cost of allocating memory for all the structures of the algorithm.

Parameters

img	Input image. Supported format: CV_8UC3. Image size must match with the initialized image size with the function createScanSegment(). It MUST be in Lab color space.
