Content-Aware SLIC Super-Pixels for Semi-Dark Images (SLIC++)
Sensors, 2022 Super-pixels represent perceptually similar visual feature vectors of the image. Super-pixels are the meaningful group of pixels of the image, bunched together based on the color and proximity of singular pixel.

Extended SLIC superpixels algorithm for applications to non-imagery geospatial rasters
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022 Converting an image to a set of superpixels is a useful preprocessing step in many computer vision applications; it reduces the dimensionality of the data and removes noise. The most popular superpixels algorithm is the Simple Linear Iterative Clustering
