Nonlocal center–surround reconstruction-based bottom-up saliency estimation

作者:

Highlights:

• A nonlocal reconstruction-based bottom-up saliency estimation method is proposed.

• Nonlocal image processing is employed to provide a better treatment of textures.

• Sparsity pursuit is very effective for removing duplicated similar image regions.

• Reconstruction residual is inherently coherent with the bottom-up saliency.

• Our method is stable under three public datasets and consistent with human fixations.
