Region-based multi-scale spatial-temporal visual saliency detection method

Abstract

The invention provides a region-based multi-scale spatial-temporal visual saliency detection method that includes the following steps of: multi-scale video segmentation and spatial saliency entity construction the process of which comprises: firstly executing a time super pixel model in order to divide a video into spatial-temporal regions in various scale levels; extracting the motion informationin each scale level and the characteristics of each frame, creating characteristic mapping, combing the characteristic mapping to generate a spatially salient entity for each scale-level region; thenindividually using an adaptive time window smoothness saliency value for each region, and bringing in time consistency to form a spatial-temporal saliency entity trans frame; and finally, generatinga spatial-temporal saliency map for each frame by fusing multi-scale spatial-temporal saliency entities. The method overcomes the limitation of using a fixed number of reference frames, and introduces a new metric of the adaptive time window, can maintain the time consistency between consecutive frames of each entity in the video and reduce the fluctuation of the target between frames.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of visual saliency detection, in particular to an area-based multi-scale spatio-temporal visual saliency detection method. Background technique [0002] Today, with the rapid development of Internet communication technology and multimedia processing technology, digital images and food have gradually become the main carriers of information. In the face of massive images and videos, image processing technology that matches the data growth has become an urgent need. In the image preprocessing stage, human participation can be reduced or even avoided through visual saliency detection, and tasks such as image segmentation, scene classification, and object recognition can be realized automatically or adaptively. The visual saliency mechanism ensures the high efficiency of human eyes in processing visual information. At present, the research on visual saliency detection has become a popular direction in the field of machin...
