Saliency and KAZE features assisted object segmentation

作者：

Highlights：

• Effective object segmentation using saliency and KAZE features is proposed.

• Region rejection strategy utilizing saliency and density of KAZE keypoints.

• KAZE keypoints are most suited for characterization of boundaryness.

• Objectness level information is enhanced with the help of salient keypoints.

• Outperform state of the art unsupervised salient object segmentation techniques.
