Title
A Universal Framework for Salient Object Detection.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel universal framework for salient object detection, which aims to enhance the performance of any existing saliency detection method. First, rough salient regions are extracted from any existing saliency detection model with distance weighting, adaptive binarization, and morphological closing. With the superpixel segmentation, a Bayesian decision model is adopted to refine the rough saliency map to obtain a more accurate saliency map. An iterative optimization method is designed to obtain better saliency results by exploiting the characteristics of the output saliency map each time. Through the iterative optimization process, the rough saliency map is updated step by step with better and better performance until an optimal saliency map is obtained. Experimental results on the public salient object detection datasets with ground truth demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed universal framework subjectively and objectively.
