Abstract
Visual saliency is a cognitive psychology concept that makes some stimuli of a scene stand out relative to their neighbors and attract our attention. Computing visual saliency is a topic of recent interest. Here, we propose a graph-based method for saliency detection, which contains three stages: pre-processing, initial saliency detection and final saliency detection. The initial saliency map is obtained by putting adaptive threshold on color differences relative to the background. In final saliency detection, a graph is constructed, and the ranking technique is exploited. In the proposed method, the background is suppressed effectively, and often salient regions are selected correctly. Experimental results on the MSRA-1000 database demonstrate excellent performance and low computational complexity in comparison with the state-of-the-art methods.
