Salient object detection by composition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, for each of a plurality of locations in an image, a saliency measure based at least on a cost of composing parts of the image in the location from parts of the image outside of the location, the cost being determined based at least in part on appearance distances and spatial distances of the parts of the image in the location from the parts of the image outside the location; and
selecting, by the computing device, one or more of the locations as representing salient objects of the image based at least on the saliency measures.

Abstract
A computing device configured to determine, for each of a plurality of locations in an image, a saliency measure based at least on a cost of composing parts of the image in the location from parts of the image outside of the location is described herein. The computing device is further configured to select one or more of the locations as representing salient objects of the image based at least on the saliency measures.

16. One or more computer-readable storage devices comprising computer-executable instructions for programming one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
-
for each of a plurality of locations in an image, determining a saliency measure based at least on a cost of composing parts of the image in the location from parts of the image outside of the location, the cost being determined based at least on appearance distances and spatial distances of the parts of the image in the location from the parts of the image outside the location; and selecting one or more of the locations as representing salient objects of the image based at least on the saliency measures. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A system comprising:
-
a processor; a saliency determination module configured to be operated by the processor to determine, for each of a plurality of locations in an image, a saliency measure based at least on a cost of composing parts of the image in the location from parts of the image outside of the location, the cost being determined based at least in part on spatial distances of the parts of the image in the location from the parts of the image outside the location, wherein determining the cost includes extending, by the processor, regions adjacent to a boundary of the image and utilizing the extended regions as the parts of the image outside of the location; and an object selection module configured to be operated by the processor to select one or more of the locations as representing salient objects of the image based at least on the saliency measures. - View Dependent Claims (20)
