[GRASS-user] how to tweak the parameters to speed up i.segment

[Pietro]

Hi,

at the moment I guess the only way to speed up it is exactly what
suggested by Moritz:

Following this approach I've implement: i.segment.hierarchical
(grass-addons). I've used this module to segment an image (RGB) of 24
x 48 kpixels on my laptop in less than 12 hours (if I remeber
correctly). Still I think we can reach greater improvement working at
C level but I didn't have time to work on it I have just some ideas,
no code.

All the best
