Sudden label changes cannot be avoided by whatever forced directed methods due to the unreliability of resultant force or global optimization methods due to the complex trade-off on the different aspects. To solve this problem, we proposed a hybrid optimization method by taking advantages of the merits of both approaches. We first detect the spatial-temporal intersection regions from whole trajectories of the features, and initialize the layout by optimization in decreasing order by the number of the involved features. The label movements between the spatial-temporal intersection regions are determined by force directed methods. To cope with some features with high speed relative to neighbors, we introduced a force from future, called temporal force, so that the labels of related features can elude ahead of time and retain smooth movements. We also proposed a strategy by optimizing the label layout to predict the trajectories of features so that such global optimization method can be applied to streaming data.</p><p><strong>Electronic supplementary material: </strong>Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at 10.1007/s41095-021-0231-y.</p>","PeriodicalId":37301,"journal":{"name":"Computational Visual Media","volume":"8 1","pages":"149-163"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8549603/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39579548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Now, the advent of depth sensors means that depth maps can easily be captured; this additional spatial information can boost the performance of salient object detection. Although various RGB-D based salient object detection models with promising performance have been proposed over the past several years, an in-depth understanding of these models and the challenges in this field remains lacking. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of RGB-D based salient object detection models from various perspectives, and review related benchmark datasets in detail. Further, as light fields can also provide depth maps, we review salient object detection models and popular benchmark datasets from this domain too. Moreover, to investigate the ability of existing models to detect salient objects, we have carried out a comprehensive attribute-based evaluation of several representative RGB-D based salient object detection models. Finally, we discuss several challenges and open directions of RGB-D based salient object detection for future research.

It becomes significantly more difficult when multiple time-steps are to be presented, as the visual clutter quickly increases. Moreover, the challenge to perceive the significant temporal evolution is even greater. In this paper, we present a method to plot temporal high-dimensional data in a static scatterplot; it uses the established PCA technique to project data from multiple time-steps. The key idea is to extend each individual displacement prior to applying PCA, so as to skew the projection process, and to set a projection plane that balances the directions of temporal change and spatial variance. We present numerous examples and various visual cues to highlight the data trajectories, and demonstrate the effectiveness of the method for visualizing temporal data.</p>","PeriodicalId":37301,"journal":{"name":"Computational Visual Media","volume":"6 4","pages":"385-400"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s41095-020-0197-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38604606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
