Our hybrid color distance is inspired in the human vision system, simulating the sensitivity to intensity and chromaticity of the the retina's cells: cones and rods. This approach provides excellent edge detection and is the core of our method. The segmentation output depends on the hybrid distance parameters, whose values define the segmentation method balance between intensity and chromaticity preference.
