Embodiment Construction

[0043] Now in conjunction with embodiment, accompanying drawing, the present invention will be further described:

[0044] The hardware environment used for implementation is: Intel Pentium2.93GHz CPU computer, 4.0GB memory, and the running software environment is: Matlab R2011b and Windows7. We use the MIT and Toronto databases published on the Internet to conduct our experiments. The MIT database contains 1003 natural images, and the Toronto database contains 120 images. We have realized the method that the present invention proposes with Matlab software.

[0045] The present invention is specifically implemented as follows:

[0046] Step 1 extracts the visual features of the image data:

[0047] The present invention uses cross-validation to select 903 images each time (the last time is 900 images) for training, and uses the remaining images for testing. First, extract 37-dimensional features from each picture in the training set. The following describes the extraction m...

Abstract

The invention relates to a depth study method for detecting salient regions in a natural image. During a training phase, a certain number of pictures are selected from a natural image database, basic features of the images are extracted to form a training sample, subsequently, the extracted features are studied by using a depth study model so as to obtain enhanced advanced features which are more abstractive and more distinguishable, and finally, a classifier is trained by using studied features. During a testing phase, as to any test image, firstly, the base features are extracted, secondly, the enhanced advanced features are extracted by using the trained depth model, finally, salience is predicted by using the classifier, and a predicted value of each pixel point serves as a salient value of the point. In such a way, a salient image of the whole image can be obtained, and the higher the salient value is, the more salient the image is.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting salient regions in natural images based on deep learning, which can be applied to the salient detection of multiple regions in natural images under complex backgrounds. Background technique [0002] Salient region detection of natural images has always been a research hotspot in the field of image processing and computer vision. So far, there have been a large number of research structures and research groups engaged in research in this area, and very good results have been achieved. [0003] According to the division of visual information processing, the visual attention process can be divided into two parts, namely bottom-up (bottom-up) and top-down (top-down) visual attention. The bottom-up visual attention model constructs the attention process by directly calculating the visual saliency of low-level features, which has the characteristics of fast speed, no conscious control, and forward propagation. ...
