【 摘 要 】

In this study, we address the problem of salient region detection. Recently, salient region detection methods with histogram-based contrast and region-based contrast have given promising results. Center bias is a hypothetical characteristic in human vision system which is applied in many existing salient region detection methods. In this paper, we propose an object-biased Gaussian model to refine the histogram-based contrast method and region contrast method. The proposed algorithm is simple, efficient, and produces full-resolution, high-quality saliency maps. We extensively evaluated our algorithm using traditional salient object detection benchmark, as well as a more challenging co-saliency object detection benchmark. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the original global contrast methods and other existing salient object detection methods.
