Bayesian salient object detection based on saliency driven clustering

Salient object detection is essential for applications, such as image classification, object recognition and image retrieval. In this paper, we design a new approach to detect salient objects from an image by describing what does salient objects and backgrounds look like using statistic of the image. First, we introduce a saliency driven clustering method to reveal distinct visual patterns of images by generating image clusters. The Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is applied to represent the statistic of each cluster, which is used to compute the color spatial distribution. Second, three kinds of regional saliency measures, i.e, regional color contrast saliency, regional boundary prior saliency and regional color spatial distribution, are computed and combined. Then, a region selection strategy integrating color contrast prior, boundary prior and visual patterns information of images is presented. The pixels of an image are divided into either potential salient region or background region adaptively based on the combined regional saliency measures. Finally, a Bayesian framework is employed to compute the saliency value for each pixel taking the regional saliency values as priority. Our approach has been extensively evaluated on two popular image databases. Experimental results show that our approach can achieve considerable performance improvement in terms of commonly adopted performance measures in salient object detection.

Exploiting object features in deep gaze prediction models

The human visual system analyzes the complex scenes rapidly. It devotes the limited perceptual resources to the most salient subsets and/or objects of scenes while ignoring their less salient parts. Gaze prediction models try to predict the human eye fixations (human gaze) under free-viewing conditions while imitating the attentive mechanism. Previous studies on saliency benchmark datasets have shown that visual attention is affected by the salient objects of the scenes and their features. These features include the identity, the location, and the visual features of objects in the scenes, beside to the context of the input image. Moreover, the human eye fixations often converge to the specific parts of salient objects in the scenes. In this paper, we propose a deep gaze prediction model using object detection via image segmentation. It uses some deep neural modules to find the identity, location, and visual features of the salient objects in the scenes. In addition, we introduce a deep module to capture the prior bias of human eye fixations. To evaluate our model, several challenging saliency benchmark datasets are used in the experiments. We also conduct an ablation study to show the effectiveness of our proposed modules and its architecture. Despite its fewer parameters, our model has comparable, or even better performance on some datasets, to the state-of-the-art saliency models.

Two-stage salient region detection by exploiting multiple priors

Saliency detection has become a valuable tool for many image processing tasks, like image retargeting, object recognition, and adaptive compression. With the rapid development of the saliency detection methods, people have approved the hypothesis that “the appearance contrast between the salient object and the background is high”, and build their saliency methods on some priors that explain this hypothesis. However, these methods are not satisfactory enough. We propose a two-stage salient region detection method. The input image is first segmented into superpixels. In the first stage, two measures which measure the isolation and distribution of each superpixel are proposed, we consider that both of these two measures are important for finding the salient regions, thus the image-feature-based saliency map is obtained by combining the two measures. Then, in the second stage, we incorporate into the image-feature-based saliency map a location prior map to emphasize the foci of attention. In this algorithm, six priors that explain what is the salient region are exploited. The proposed method is compared with the state-of-the-art saliency detection methods using one of the largest publicly available standard databases, the experimental result indicates that the proposed method has better performance. We also demonstrate how the saliency map of the proposed method can be used to create high quality of initial segmentation masks for subsequent image processing, like Grabcut based salient object segmentation.

基于深度学习的图像显著对象检测

A novel video salient object extraction method based on visual attention

This paper addresses a novel approach to automatically extract video salient objects based on visual attention mechanism and seeded object growing technique. First, a dynamic visual attention model to capture the object motions by global motion estimation and compensation is constructed. Through combining it with a static attention model, a saliency map is formed. Then, with a modified inhibition of return (MIOR) strategy, the winner-take-all (WTA) neural network is used to scan the saliency map for the most salient locations selected as attention seeds. Lastly, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to grow the attention objects modeled by Markov random field (MRF) from the seeds. Experiments verify that our presented approach could extract both of stationary and moving salient objects efficiently.     

Finding spatio-temporal salient paths for video objects discovery

Many videos capture and follow salient objects in a scene. Detecting such salient objects is thus of great interests to video analytics and search. However, the discovery of salient objects in an unsupervised way is a challenging problem as there is no prior knowledge of the salient objects provided. Different from existing salient object detection methods, we propose to detect and track salient object by finding a spatio-temporal path which has the largest accumulated saliency density in the video. Inspired by the observation that salient video objects usually appear in consecutive frames, we leverage the motion coherence of videos into the path discovery and make the salient object detection more robust. Without any prior knowledge of the salient objects, our method can detect salient objects of various shapes and sizes, and is able to handle noisy saliency maps and moving cameras. Experimental results on two public datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in both qualitative and quantitative terms. Comparisons with the state-of-the-art methods further demonstrate the superiority of our method on salient object detection in videos.
