Robust Complex Salient Regions

چکیده
The challenge of interest point detectors is to find, in an unsupervised way, keypoints easy to extract and at the same time robust to image transformations. In this paper, we present a novel set of saliency features that takes into account the region inhomogeneity in terms of intensity and shape. The region complexity is estimated at real-time by means of the entropy of the grey-level information. On the other hand, shape information is obtained by measuring the entropy of normalized orientations. The normalization step is a key point in this process. We compare the novel complex salient regions with the state-of-the-art keypoint detectors. The new set of interest points shows robustness to a wide set of transformations and high repeatability. Besides, we show the temporal robustness of the novel salient regions in two real video sequences.

Wavelet-Based Salient Region Extraction
In this paper, we propose a new technique for extracting salient regions in an image. Identification of salient regions is useful for region/object based image processing. Previous works on salient regions/points typically involve complex detection and are not always reliable in terms of perceptual importance and robustness. This paper presents an efficient salient-region extraction algorithm b...

متن کاملA Robust Salient Region Extraction Based on Color and Texture Features
In current common research reports, salient regions are usually defined as those regions that could present the main meaningful or semantic contents. However, there are no uniform saliency metrics that could describe the saliency of implicit image regions. Most common metrics take those regions as salient regions, which have many abrupt changes or some unpredictable characteristics. But, this m...

Robust small target detection of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is very important in infrared search and track applications for self-defense or attacks. Due to the complex background, current algorithms have some unsolved issues with false alarm rate. In order to reduce the false alarm rate, an infrared small target detection algorithm based on saliency detection and support vector machine was...
