Features of an image can be extracted with the help of salient maps. Feature extraction can be either in spatial domain or in transform domain. In this work, a novel salient map creation model based on wavelet transform domain. At first, the wavelet transform is employed to create the multi-scale feature maps which can utilise low-level features. This saliency detection model is based on high-p...

Detecting salient objects from images and videos has many useful applications in computer vision. In this paper, a novel spatiotemporal salient region detection approach is proposed. The proposed approach computes spatiotemporal saliency by estimating spatial and temporal saliencies separately. The spatial saliency is computed estimating of color contrast cue and color distribution cue by explo...
