Visual saliency is a cognitive psychology concept that makes some stimuli of a scene stand out relative to their neighbors and attract our attention. Computing visual saliency is a topic of recent interest. Here, we propose a graph-based method for saliency detection, which contains three stages: pre-processing, initial saliency detection and final saliency detection. The initial saliency map i...

Image segmentation process for high quality visual saliency map is very dependent on the existing visual saliency metrics. It is mostly only get sketchy effect of saliency map, and roughly based visual saliency map will affect the image segmentation results. The paper had presented the randomized visual saliency detection algorithm. The randomized visual saliency detection method can quickly ge...

Abstract Salient region detection is very useful in video analysis. A salient region detection method based on spatiotemporal visual attention model is proposed in this paper. Visual attention mechanism is used to generate saliency map of the image sequence. Spatial saliency map is computed in accordance with some predefined features including intensity, color and orientation. Temporal visual s...

Saliency regions attract more human’s attention than other regions in an image. Low- level and high-level features are utilized in saliency region detection. Low-level features contain primitive information such as color or texture while high-level features usually consider visual systems. Recently, some salient region detection methods have been proposed based on only low-level features or hig...

The validity of using conventional saliency map models to predict human attention was investigated for video captured with an egocentric camera. Since conventional visual saliency models do not take into account visual motion caused by camera motion, high visual saliency may be erroneously assigned to regions that are not actually visually salient. To evaluate the validity of using saliency map...

The saliency map has been proposed to identify regions that draw human visual attention. Differences of features from the surroundings are hierarchially computed for an image or an image sequence in multiple resolutions and they are fused in a fully bottom-up manner to obtain a saliency map. A video usually contains sounds, and not only visual stimuli but also auditory stimuli attract human att...

Models of visual attention postulate the existence of a bottom-up saliency map that is formed early in the visual processing stream. Although studies have reported evidence of a saliency map in various cortical brain areas, determining the contribution of phylogenetically older pathways is crucial to understanding its origin. Here, we compared saliency coding from neurons in two early gateways ...
