abstract = {A general technique for the recovery of significant image
features is presented. The technique is based on the mean shift
algorithm, a simple nonparametric procedure for estimating density
gradients. Drawbacks of the current methods (including robust
clustering) are avoided. Feature space of any nature can be processed,
and as an example, color image segmentation is discussed. The
segmentation is completely autonomous, only its class is chosen by the
user. Thus, the same program can produce a high quality edge image, or
provide, by extracting all the significant colors, a preprocessor for
content-based query systems. A 512x512 color image is analyzed in less
than 10 seconds on a standard workstation. Gray level images are
handled as color images having only the lightness coordinate.},
