Segmentation of image data
First Claim
1. A method of processing image data by a processor, the method comprising acts of:
- segmenting the image data on the processor to create first and second segmented views using a first criterion and a first parameter, and using the first criterion or a second criterion and a second parameter, respectively;
selecting one or more segments of the image data, as displayed in one of the first and second segmented views, the selecting is achieved via user interface; and
displaying the selected segments on a display terminal.

Abstract
A method of processing image data comprises receiving image data, segmenting the image data using a first criteria and a first threshold to create a first segmented view of the image data, segmenting the image data using the first criteria and a second threshold to create a second segmented view of the image data, displaying the first segmented view of the image data, receiving one or more selection user inputs selecting one or more segments of the image data, as displayed in the first segmented view, receiving a defined user input, displaying the second segmented view of the image data, and receiving one or more further selection user inputs selecting one or more segments of the image data, as displayed in the second segmented view. This method can be used in the creation of a depth map. In this case, the process further comprises receiving one or more depth user inputs, the or each depth user input relating to a respective selection user input, and creating a depth map for the image data accordingly.

23. A non-transitory computer readable medium having program means for controlling a processor, to perform the method comprising:
-
using a processor to segment image data to create first and second segmented views, the processer using a first criterion and a first parameter to create the first segmented view, and the processor using the first criterion or a second criterion and a second parameter to create the second segmented view; outputting through the output the first or second segmented view for display, receiving from an input a selection of one or more segments of the image data, from one of the first and second segmented views, and outputting through an output the selected segments for display.
