“…Superpixels can be found in many applications of computer vision and machine learning tasks. As an efficient superpixel method, SLIC (Simple Linear Iterative Clustering) algorithm was introduced in [12] and due to its superior performance [14], [15] was extensively used in many applications such as image segmentation [7], [8], [9], [10], object detection [11], anomaly detection [16], [17] and image reconstruction [18], [19], [20]. To efficiently generate superpixels, the SLIC algorithm employs a k-means clustering approach.…”
