This paper discusses different measures for quantifying regional hurricane loss. The main measures used in the past are normalized percentage loss and dollar value loss. In this research, we show that these measures are useful but may not properly reflect the size of the population influenced by hurricanes. A new loss measure is proposed that reflects the hurricane impact on people occupying th...

Detection of visually salient image regions has been of great research interest in recent years. It is useful for a wide range of applications such as object detection, video summarization and object segmentation. In this paper, we propose a modified method based on frequency-tuned (FT) model for salient region detection that outputs full resolution saliency maps with well-defined boundaries of...
