TLDR
A saliency detection method based on Gestalt principles in which mid-level Gestalt concepts for low-level saliency are introduced and two smoothing procedures are proposed to uniformly highlight the salient object.Abstract:
Salient region detection is of great significance in computer vision such as object recognition, image segmentation and image retrieval. However, low-level saliency has certain limitations due to lack of object level information. In this paper, we propose a saliency detection method based on Gestalt principles in which we introduce mid-level Gestalt concepts for low-level saliency. We propose an algorithm based on Gestalt principles of similarity & anomaly to select and suppress the similar background regions, using variance of clusters of image regions. Moreover, we propose two smoothing procedures based on Gestalt principles of similarity & proximity to group near and similar regions and therefore uniformly highlight the salient object. Experimental results on public data set show that our method performs well compared with state-of-the-art approaches.read more

Salient object detection via contrast information and object vision organization cues
TL;DR: This paper proposes to delineate saliency by considering both the contrast and object vision organization, inspired by the Gestalt principles of grouping from the study of visual perception, and demonstrates that the model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

Enhancing Infographics Based on Symmetry Saliency
TL;DR: A new approach to intentionally drawing visual attention for infographic images, in such a way that the corresponding important features naturally pop up in the image by evaluating how much each image edge contributes to the symmetry saliency, and augmenting the corresponding image gradient by solving the Poisson equation.

Efficient Graph-Based Image Segmentation
TL;DR: An efficient segmentation algorithm is developed based on a predicate for measuring the evidence for a boundary between two regions using a graph-based representation of the image and it is shown that although this algorithm makes greedy decisions it produces segmentations that satisfy global properties.
