They are most often employed in simplification and segmentation, while multiple strategies exist for their application to color data as well. In this paper we explore a vector ordering based alternative method for computing color quasi-flat zones, which enables the use of vectorial α and ω parameters. The interest of this vectorial strategy w.r.t marginal quasi-flat zones is illustrated both qualitatively and quantitatively by means of color simplification and segmentation experiments. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessColor morphologyImage partitionImage simplificationQuasi-flat zonesVector orderingsConference ObjectQ37883 LNCS2312429
