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.     

3D saliency detection based on background detection

Unlike 2D saliency detection, 3D saliency detection can consider the effects of depth and binocular parallax. In this paper, we propose a 3D saliency detection approach based on background detection via depth information. With the aid of the synergism between a color image and the corresponding depth map, our approach can detect the distant background and surfaces with gradual changes in depth. We then use the detected background to predict the potential characteristics of the background regions that are occluded by foreground objects through polynomial fitting; this step imitates the human imagination/envisioning process. Finally, a saliency map is obtained based on the contrast between the foreground objects and the potential background. We compare our approach with 14 state-of-the-art saliency detection methods on three publicly available databases. The proposed model demonstrates good performance and succeeds in detecting and removing backgrounds and surfaces of gradually varying depth on all tested databases.     

RLP-AGMC: Robust label propagation for saliency detection based on an adaptive graph with multiview connections

There have been remarkable improvements in the salient object detection in the recent years. During the past few years, graph-based saliency detection algorithms have been proposed and made advances. Nevertheless, most of the state-of-the-art graph-based approaches are usually designed with low-level features, misleading assumption, fixed predefined graph structure and weak affinity matrix, which determine that they are not robust enough to handle images with complex or cluttered background.In this paper, we propose a robust label propagation-based mechanism for salient object detection throughout an adaptive graph to tackle above issues. Low-level features as well as deep features are integrated into the proposed framework to measure the similarity between different nodes. In addition, a robust mechanism is presented to calculate seeds based on the distribution of salient regions, which can achieve desirable results even if the object is in contact with the image boundary and the image scene is complex. Then, an adaptive graph with multiview connections is constructed based on different cues to learn the graph affinity matrix, which can better capture the characteristics between spatially adjacent and distant regions. Finally, a novel RLP-AGMC model, i.e. robust label propagation throughout an adaptive graph with multiview connections, is put forward to calculate saliency maps in combination with the obtained seed vectors. Comprehensive experiments on six public datasets demonstrate the proposed method outperforms fourteen existing state-of-the-art methods in terms of various evaluation metrics.     

Saliency detection for panoramic landscape images of outdoor scenes

Saliency detection has been researched for conventional images with standard aspect ratios, however, it is a challenging problem for panoramic images with wide fields of view. In this paper, we propose a saliency detection algorithm for panoramic landscape images of outdoor scenes. We observe that a typical panoramic image includes several homogeneous background regions yielding horizontally elongated distributions, as well as multiple foreground objects with arbitrary locations. We first estimate the background of panoramic images by selecting homogeneous superpixels using geodesic similarity and analyzing their spatial distributions. Then we iteratively refine an initial saliency map derived from background estimation by computing the feature contrast only within local surrounding area whose range and shape are changed adaptively. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm detects multiple salient objects faithfully while suppressing the background successfully, and it yields a significantly better performance of panorama saliency detection compared with the recent state-of-the-art techniques.     

Combining multi-layer integration algorithm with background prior and label propagation for saliency detection

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to automatically detect salient regions in an image. Firstly, some corner superpixels serve as the background labels and the saliency of other superpixels are determined by ranking their similarities to the background labels based on ranking algorithm. Subsequently, we further employ an objectness measure to pick out and propagate foreground labels. Furthermore, an integration algorithm is devised to fuse both background-based saliency map and foreground-based saliency map, meanwhile an original energy function is acted as refinement before integration. Finally, results from multiscale saliency maps are integrated to further improve the detection performance. Our experimental results on five benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Our method produces more accurate saliency maps with better precision-recall curve, higher F-measure and lower mean absolute error than other 13 state-of-the-arts approaches on ASD, SED, ECSSD, iCoSeg and PASCAL-S datasets.
