superpixels

Superpixels are groups of tiny, similar-colored pixels in an image that are combined into larger, meaningful regions. Instead of processing every individual pixel, superpixels help algorithms work more efficiently by capturing entire areas with common features, such as color or texture. This makes tasks like image recognition, segmentation, and editing faster and more accurate, as they focus on groups rather than countless individual pixels, simplifying the complexity of visual data while preserving important details.
