Abstract

Saliency mechanism has been considered crucial in the human visual system and helpful to object detection and recognition. This paper addresses a novel feature-based model for visual saliency detection. It consists of two steps: first, using the learned overcomplete sparse bases to represent image patches; and then, estimating saliency information via low-rank and sparsity matrix decomposition. We compare our model with the previous methods on natural images. Experimental results on both natural images and psychological patterns show that our model performs competitively for visual saliency detection task, and suggest the potential application of matrix decomposition and convex optimization for image analysis.
