Abstract

In this paper, a simple but effective method is proposed for detecting salient objects by utilizing texture and local cues. In contrast to the existing saliency detection models, which mainly consider visual features such as orientation, color, and shape information, our proposed method takes the significant texture cue into consideration to guarantee the accuracy of the detected salient regions. Firstly, an effective method based on selective contrast (SC), which explores the most distinguishable component information in texture, is used to calculate the texture saliency map. Then, we detect local saliency by using a locality-constrained linear coding algorithm. Finally, the output saliency map is computed by integrating texture and local saliency cues simultaneously. Experimental results, based on a widely used and openly available database, demonstrate that the proposed method can produce competitive results and outperforms some existing popular methods.
