oh, please, could you shorten your title and put your actual question inside the text ?

also, it would be good to know, what you tried before, i.e how you segmented that image.

Why not try the following approach, take all your intensities of your matrix, so that each pixel represents a 3 dimensional point (color based BGR coordinates), put them into a clustering algorithm like knn-clustering and then assign each cluster a color? It seems the most basic way to adress this problem. However, segmentation is an active research topic, with alot of interest in the academic community. Look at papers of CVPR2012 and 2013 for latest state of the art techniques.

clustering the colors with kmeans might have less 'local' effects
