### 11.8. Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC)

#### 11.8.1. Overview

This filter creates superpixels based on k-means clustering.

Superpixels are small cluster of pixels that share similar properties. Superpixels simplifies images with a great number of pixels making them more easy to be treated in many domains (computer vision, pattern recognition and machine intelligence). GIMP's aim is more humble: create a posterization effect.

k-means clustering is one of the most used algorithms to create superpixels. Superpixel color is the mean of pixels color in the corresponding region.

#### 11.8.2. Activating the filter

This filter is found in the image window menu under Filters → Artistic → Simple Linear Iterative Clustering….

Presets, “Input Type”, Clipping, Blending Options, Preview, Split view

  | 注意
  These options are described in 第 2 节 “Common Features”.

Regions size

  Increasing regions size collects more pixels, and so superpixels size increases also.

  图 17.212. “Regions size” example

  Regions size = 16

  Regions size = 32

Compactness

  Superpixels borders may be irregular. Increasing this option gives superpixels more regular border.

  图 17.213. “Compactness” example

  Compactness = 20

  Compactness = 40: look at the dome.

Iterations

  How many times filter is repeated. Increasing this value gives more details.

  图 17.214. “Regions size” example

  Iterations = 1 (default)

  Iterations = 15
