Graph-Based Salient Region Detection through Linear Neighborhoods

الملخص EN

Pairwise neighboring relationships estimated by Gaussian weight function have been extensively adopted in the graph-based salient region detection methods recently.

However, the learning of the parameters remains a problem as nonoptimal models will affect the detection results significantly.

To tackle this challenge, we first apply the adjacent information provided by all neighbors of each node to construct the undirected weight graph, based on the assumption that every node can be optimally reconstructed by a linear combination of its neighbors.

Then, the saliency detection is modeled as the process of graph labelling by learning from partially selected seeds (labeled data) in the graph.

The promising experimental results presented on some datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of our proposed graph-based saliency detection method through linear neighborhoods.
