ABSTRACT
Salient object detection is a powerful tool to be applied to many computer vision tasks such as object recognition, image segmentation and scene understanding. We formulate salient object detection as a hypergraph based ranking problem which ranks the similarity of the image elements with foreground or background cues. In addition, we introduce an adaptive background prior to prevent suppression of salient objects touching image boundary. We can improve the results of saliency detection by using the adaptive background priors. Experimental results on three public image dataset demonstrate that our method performs better than the state-of-the-art saliency detection methods.

Highlights- Two saliency maps are fused based on background and foreground priors for multi-objective detection.
AbstractIn order to achieve object detection of dairy goats in farm image efficiently and accurately, this paper proposes a novel salient object detection approach based on background and foreground priors. First, we improve the FastMBD ...
Salient object detection via saliency bias and diffusion
Salient object detection aims to identify both spatial locations and scales of the salient object in an image. However, previous saliency detection methods generally fail in detecting the whole objects, especially when the salient objects are actually ...
