Image Saliency Detection via Multi-Feature and Manifold-Space Ranking

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an image saliency detection method by using multi-feature and manifold-space ranking. Basically, the proposed method extracts the color-histogram feature to obtain the fine information of the image, and the color-mean feature to obtain the coarse information respectively. To further improve the detection accuracy of the feature correlation between different image units, a manifold-space ranking method is used to calculate saliency values of image units to construct a saliency map on each feature-space. Specifically, we fuse the two saliency maps to obtain the final saliency map. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method not only outperforms the other methods, but also improves the accuracy and robustness of the saliency detection.
