Pixy's Segmentation Method

Pixy Software
#1

Hi, I’m writing a school paper about a project I developed that involves image segmentation and uses Pixy as one of the examples of ways to do so.

I wanted to know from which method you guys got the idea from the algorithm used in Pixy.

I know the code is available at https://github.com/charmedlabs/pixy/blob/d50c8b7df36a95f61d089f8e56b31b76aecc329e/common/colorlut.cpp but what I really wanna know is where the idea for it came from (for example: Otsu`s method, clustering, k-means…) I need a theoretical foundation for my paper, so if you could point me towards an article or something like that it would be much appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Hello Bea,
Pixy using something similar to this:

It’s a color filtering step followed by a connected components step.

Hope this helps!
