Abstract
Salient region of an image is usually detected by using contrast and boundary priors. Along with those cues the use of seam importance map has shown promising output previously. In this study, better result is found by further exploiting the seam-map using spatial distance and color information in combination with boundary prior. Color and seam maps are also down-weighted using average spatial distance to other regions. Moreover, passing the superpixelized version of the input image into seam and color map generation procedure has improved the output. Experimental results based on MSRA 1k dataset are presented with ten state of the art methods. F-beta measures are presented along with precision recall curves to better understand the outcome. The performance comparison with compared researches proofs superiority of the proposed method.
