                         graph-based image segmentation algorithm that is designed for easy 
                         parallelization. It is based on a clustering approach focusing on 
                         local image characteristics. Each pixel is compared with its 
                         neighbors in an implicitly independent manner, and those deemed 
                         sufficiently similar according to a color criterion are joined. We 
                         achieve fast execution times while still maintaining the visual 
                         quality of the results. The algorithm is presented in four 
                         different implementations: sequential CPU, parallel CPU, GPU, and 
                         hybrid CPU-GPU. We compare the execution times of the four 
                         versions with each other and with other closely related image 
                         segmentation algorithms.",
