Motion Saliency Detection in Videos

Abstract

In order to detect visually salient regions in video sequences, a motion saliency detection method is proposed. The motion vectors of each video frame is used to get two motion saliency features. One represents the uniqueness of the motion,and the other one represents the distribution of the motion in the video scene. Then, the Gaussian filtering is conducted to combine the two feature to make the motion saliency map, in which the salient regions or objects in the video sequences could be detected. The experimental results show that the proposed method could achieve excellent saliency detection performances.
