Salient object detection (SOD), which aims to find the most important region of interest and segment the relevant object/item in that area, is an important yet challenging vision task. This problem is inspired by the fact that human seems…
Visual Saliency is the capability of vision system to select distinctive parts of scene and reduce the amount of visual data that need to be processed. The presentpaper introduces (1) a novel approach to detect salient regions by…
