Frequency-tuned salient region detection
2009 IEEE conference on computer vision and pattern recognition, 2009•ieeexplore.ieee.org
Detection of visually salient image regions is useful for applications like object
segmentation, adaptive compression, and object recognition. In this paper, we introduce a
method for salient region detection that outputs full resolution saliency maps with well-
defined boundaries of salient objects. These boundaries are preserved by retaining
substantially more frequency content from the original image than other existing techniques.
Our method exploits features of color and luminance, is simple to implement, and is …

Detection of visually salient image regions is useful for applications like object segmentation, adaptive compression, and object recognition. In this paper, we introduce a method for salient region detection that outputs full resolution saliency maps with well-defined boundaries of salient objects. These boundaries are preserved by retaining substantially more frequency content from the original image than other existing techniques. Our method exploits features of color and luminance, is simple to implement, and is computationally efficient. We compare our algorithm to five state-of-the-art salient region detection methods with a frequency domain analysis, ground truth, and a salient object segmentation application. Our method outperforms the five algorithms both on the ground-truth evaluation and on the segmentation task by achieving both higher precision and better recall.
