Visual saliency detection using local patches contrast

Human vision system possesses a strong ability to interpret complex scenes in real time effortlessly and efficiently. However, computational modeling of basic intelligent behavior still remains a significant challenge in the fields of computer vision system. Different from context-aware saliency algorithm, our method for saliency detection, not only using basic properties of visual attention but also introducing local patches contrast cues, thus it can effectively improve the accuracy of visual saliency detection with relatively low computational complexity. Furthermore, the experimental results also indicate that the effectiveness of our proposed method.
