Extended Locality-Constrained Linear Self-Coding for Saliency Detection.

In complex scenes, foreground saliency can hardly be detected completely, which may further result in the ambiguous cues of objects for other computer vision tasks. In this letter, an extended locality-constrained linear self-coding (eLLsC) scheme is proposed to assist to solve the saliency detection problem under the complex scenes. The locality of both spatial relation and feature distance is preserved in eLLsC, thus making the transformed code involved in the manifold ranking to prompt the generation of the saliency map with more complete foreground and clearer boundary. Experimental results on three saliency detection benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
