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.     

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.     

Global salient information maximization for saliency detection

In this paper, a new method for saliency detection is proposed. Based on the defined features of the salient object, we solve the problem of saliency detection from three aspects. Firstly, from the view of global information, we partition the image into two clusters, namely, salient component and background component by employing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and k-means clustering. Secondly, the maximal salient information is applied to find the position of saliency and eliminate the noise. Thirdly, we enhance the saliency for the salient regions while weaken the background regions. Finally, the saliency map is obtained based on these aspects. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better results than the state of the art methods. And this method can be applied for graph based salient object segmentation.     

Salient object detection via a boundary-guided graph structure

Graph-based salient object detection methods have gained more and more attention recently. However, existing works fail to separate effectively salient object and background in some challenging scenes. Inspired by this observation, we propose an effective salient object detection method based on a novel boundary-guided graph structure. More specifically, the input image is firstly segmented into a series of superpixels. Then we integrate two prior cues to generate the coarse saliency map, a novel weighting mechanism is proposed to balance the proportion of two prior cues according to their performance. Secondly, we propose a novel boundary-guided graph structure to explore deeply the intrinsic relevance between superpixels. Based on the proposed graph structure, an iterative propagation mechanism is constructed to refine the coarse saliency map. Experimental results on four datasets show adequately the superiority of the proposed method than other state-of-the-art methods.

基于多特征扩散方法的显著性物体检测

现有的大部分基于扩散理论的显著性物体检测方法只用了图像的底层特征来构造图和扩散矩阵,并且忽视了显著性物体在图像边缘的可能性。针对此,该文提出一种基于图像的多层特征的扩散方法进行显著性物体检测。首先,采用由背景先验、颜色先验、位置先验组成的高层先验方法选取种子节点。其次,将选取的种子节点的显著性信息通过由图像的底层特征构建的扩散矩阵传播到每个节点得到初始显著图,并将其作为图像的中层特征。然后结合图像的高层特征分别构建扩散矩阵,再次运用扩散方法分别获得中层显著图、高层显著图。最后,非线性融合中层显著图和高层显著图得到最终显著图。该算法在3个数据集MSRA10K,DUT-OMRON和ECSSD上,用3种量化评价指标与现有4种流行算法进行实验结果对比,均取得最好的效果。     

Salient region detection through sparse reconstruction and graph-based ranking

In this paper, we propose a salient region detection algorithm from the point of view of unique and compact representation of individual image. In first step, the original image is segmented into super-pixels. In second step, the sparse representation measure and uniqueness of the features are computed. Then both are ranked on the basis of the background and foreground seeds respectively. Thirdly, a location prior map is used to enhance the foci of attention. We apply the Bayes procedure to integrate computed results to produce smooth and precise saliency map. We compare our proposed algorithm against the state-of-the-art saliency detection methods using four of the largest widely available standard data-bases, experimental results specify that the proposed algorithm outperforms. We also show that how the saliency map of the proposed method is used to discover outline of object, furthermore using this outline our method produce the saliency cut of the desired object.
