An automatic feature construction method for salient object detection: A genetic programming approach

作者:

Highlights:

• Automatically construct high-level saliency features.

• Provides diversity and decrease search space.

• The constructed high-level saliency features have better generalizability.

• The GP-based constructed features have better interpretability.

• Captures salient regions along with suppressing background regions over the whole image.
