Salient Region Detection Using Diffusion Process with Nonlocal Connections
December 2018 • Huiyuan Luo, Guangliang Han, Peixun Liu, Yanfeng Wu
Diffusion-based salient region detection methods have gained great popularity. In most diffusion-based methods, the saliency values are ranked on 2-layer neighborhood graph by connecting each node to its neighboring nodes and the nodes sharing common boundaries with its neighboring nodes. However, only considering the local relevance between neighbors, the salient region may be heterogeneous and even wrongly suppressed, especially when the features of salient object are diverse. In order to address the issue, we p…
