Running VLFeat’s SLIC Superpixels using CMake and C++

There are several superpixel algorithms out there. One popular approach is called “Simple Linear Iterative Clustering” – short SLIC [1]. One implementation of SLIC is provided as part of the VLFeat library [2] which can be used from MatLab, but provides the C source code as well. This article shows how to use VLFeat’s implementation of SLIC from C++ using CMake.

Bachelor Thesis Proposal “Superpixel Segmentation using Depth Information”

Due to my bachelor thesis at RWTH Aachen University I am currently busy learning everything about superpixel segmentation — the oversegmentation of an image into groups of pixels using low-level features. In this article I want to give a short introduction by presenting my bachelor thesis proposal.
