Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: partitioning an input image using different scale values to produce a different set of superpixels for each of the different scale values, each of the superpixels comprising a plurality of pixels of the input image, wherein a larger scale value produces a first set of superpixels with coarse superpixel regions and wherein a smaller scale value produces a second set of superpixels with finer superpixel regions compared to the first set of superpixel regions; assessing potential object labels for superpixels in each different set of superpixels of the input image by comparing descriptors of the superpixels in each different set of superpixels of the input image with descriptors of reference superpixels in labeled reference images, wherein the reference superpixels are associated with respective object labels; and assigning an object label for a pixel of the input image based at least in part on the assessing of the potential object labels, the partitioning, assessing, and assigning performed by a processor of a computing device.
