Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Visual saliency detection plays a significant role in the fields of computer vision. In this paper, we introduce a novel saliency detection method based on weighted linear multiple kernel learning (WLMKL) framework, which is able to adaptively combine different contrast measurements in a supervised manner. As most influential factor is contrast operation in bottom-up visual saliency, an average weighted corner-surround contrast (AWCSC) is first designed to measure local visual saliency. Combined with common-used center-surrounding contrast (CESC) and global contrast (GC), three types of contrast operations are fed into our WLMKL framework to produce the final saliency map. We show that the assigned weights for each contrast feature maps are always normalized in our WLMKL formulation. In addition, the proposed approach benefits from the advantages of the contribution of each individual contrast feature maps, yielding more robust and accurate saliency maps. We evaluated our method for two main visual saliency detection tasks: human fixed eye prediction and salient object detection. The extensive experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed model, and demonstrate the integration is superior than individual subcomponent.
