import numpy as np from ._felzenszwalb_cy import _felzenszwalb_cython def felzenszwalb(image, scale=1, sigma=0.8, min_size=20, multichannel=True): """Computes Felsenszwalb's efficient graph based image segmentation. Produces an oversegmentation of a multichannel (i.e. RGB) image using a fast, minimum spanning tree based clustering on the image grid. The parameter ``scale`` sets an observation level. Higher scale means less and larger segments. ``sigma`` is the diameter of a Gaussian kernel, used for smoothing the image prior to segmentation. The number of produced segments as well as their size can only be controlled indirectly through ``scale``. Segment size within an image can vary greatly depending on local contrast. For RGB images, the algorithm uses the euclidean distance between pixels in color space. Parameters ---------- image : (width, height, 3) or (width, height) ndarray Input image. scale : float Free parameter. Higher means larger clusters. sigma : float Width (standard deviation) of Gaussian kernel used in preprocessing. min_size : int Minimum component size. Enforced using postprocessing. multichannel : bool, optional (default: True) Whether the last axis of the image is to be interpreted as multiple channels. A value of False, for a 3D image, is not currently supported. Returns ------- segment_mask : (width, height) ndarray Integer mask indicating segment labels. References ---------- ..
