Efficient and robust saliency detection is a fundamental problem in computer vision field for its wide applications, such as image segmentation and image retargeting, etc. In this paper, with the aim of uniformly highlighting the salient objects and suppressing the saliency of the background in images, we propose an efficient three-stage saliency detection method. First, boundary prior and connectivity prior are used to generate coarse saliency maps. To suppress the saliency value of the cluttered background, two supergraphs together with the adjacent graph are created so that the saliency of the background regions with similar appearances which are separated by other regions can be reduced effectively. Second, a local context-based saliency propagation is proposed to refine the saliency such that regions with similar features hold similar saliency. Finally, a logistic regressor is learned to combine the three refined saliency maps into the final saliency map automatically. The proposed method improves saliency detection on many cluttered images. The experimental results on two widely used public datasets with pixel accurate salient region annotations show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods. |
