A key issue in saliency detection of the foggy images in the wild for human tracking is how to effectively define the less obvious salient objects, and the leading cause is that the contrast and resolution is reduced by the light scattering through fog particles. In this paper, to suppress the interference of the fog and acquire boundaries of salient objects more precisely, we present a novel saliency detection method for human tracking in the wild. In our method, a combination of object contour detection and salient object detection is introduced. The proposed model can not only maintain the object edge more precisely via object contour detection, but also ensure the integrity of salient objects, and finally obtain accurate saliency maps of objects. Firstly, the input image is transformed into HSV color space, and the amplitude spectrum (AS) of each color channel is adjusted to obtain the frequency domain (FD) saliency map. Then, the contrast of the local-global superpixel is calculated, and the saliency map of the spatial domain (SD) is obtained. We use Discrete Stationary Wavelet Transform (DSWT) to fuse the cues of the FD and SD. Finally, a fully convolutional encoder-decoder model is utilized to refine the contour of the salient objects. Experimental results demonstrate that the presented model can remove the influence of fog efficiently, and the performance is better than 16 state-of-the-art saliency models. |
