Salient Object Detection via Augmented Hypotheses
In this paper, we propose using \textit{augmented hypotheses} which consider
objectness, foreground and compactness for salient object detection. Our
algorithm consists of four basic steps. First, our method generates the
objectness map via objectness hypotheses. Based on the objectness map, we
estimate the foreground margin and compute the corresponding foreground map
which prefers the foreground objects. From the objectness map and the
foreground map, the compactness map is formed to favor the compact objects. We
then derive a saliency measure that produces a pixel-accurate saliency map
which uniformly covers the objects of interest and consistently separates fore-
and background. We finally evaluate the proposed framework on two challenging
datasets, MSRA-1000 and iCoSeg. Our extensive experimental results show that
our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: IJCAI 2015 pape
