Co-salient object detection (CoSOD) aims to detect common salient objects sharing the same attributes in an image group. The key issue of CoSOD is how to model the inter-saliency relations within an image group. The major limitation of previous methods is that they pre-define the group-to-one relations within an image group. In this paper, we propose a new concept of structural inter-saliency relations and solve the CoSOD with deep reinforcement learning framework. Firstly, we design a semantic relation graph (SRG) to model the structural inter-saliency relations. Then the feature selecting agent (FS-agent) aims to select the informative features, which can help the SRG effectively model structural inter-saliency relations. Finally, relation updating agent (RU-agent) progressively updates the SRG to focus on the co-salient relations like human decision-making process. Extensive experiments on co-saliency datasets show that because of well modeling inter-saliency relations in image group, our proposed method achieves superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art methods. We hope that this paper can motivate future research for visual co-analysis tasks. |
