Discriminative saliency propagation with sink points

作者:

Highlights:

• A discriminative similarity metric is proposed to distinguish similar regions.

• We propose an efficient distribution guided background based weak saliency method.

• A discriminative propagation mechanism is developed to optimize coarse saliency maps.

• Several new refinements are utilized to enhance the visual quality of the output.

• We make a good balance between saliency detection accuracy and computational cost.
