Saliency refinement: Towards a uniformly highlighted salient object

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a novel refinement framework of saliency maps by using a graph-based random sampling (GBRS) and saliency optimization.

• Our framework efficiently refines an initial saliency map by uniformly highlighting a salient object.

• Salient objects uniformly highlighted by our framework can be reliably utilized in various applications such as proto-object extraction and image retargeting.
