A general technique for the recovery of signi cant
image features is presented. The technique is based on
the mean shift algorithm, a simple nonparametric pro-
cedure 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 dis-
cussed. 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 pro-
vide, by extracting all the signi cant colors, a prepro-
cessor for content-based query systems. A 512 512
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
