TLDR
It is found that the models designed specifically for salient object detection generally work better than models in closely related areas, which provides a precise definition and suggests an appropriate treatment of this problem that distinguishes it from other problems.Abstract:
We extensively compare, qualitatively and quantitatively, 41 state-of-the-art models (29 salient object detection, 10 fixation prediction, 1 objectness, and 1 baseline) over seven challenging data sets for the purpose of benchmarking salient object detection and segmentation methods. From the results obtained so far, our evaluation shows a consistent rapid progress over the last few years in terms of both accuracy and running time. The top contenders in this benchmark significantly outperform the models identified as the best in the previous benchmark conducted three years ago. We find that the models designed specifically for salient object detection generally work better than models in closely related areas, which in turn provides a precise definition and suggests an appropriate treatment of this problem that distinguishes it from other problems. In particular, we analyze the influences of center bias and scene complexity in model performance, which, along with the hard cases for the state-of-the-art models, provide useful hints toward constructing more challenging large-scale data sets and better saliency models. Finally, we propose probable solutions for tackling several open problems, such as evaluation scores and data set bias, which also suggest future research directions in the rapidly growing field of salient object detection.read more

Saliency Optimization from Robust Background Detection
TL;DR: This work proposes a robust background measure, called boundary connectivity, which characterizes the spatial layout of image regions with respect to image boundaries and is much more robust and presents unique benefits that are absent in previous saliency measures.

Salient Object Detection: A Discriminative Regional Feature Integration Approach
TL;DR: This paper regards saliency map computation as a regression problem, which is based on multi-level image segmentation, and uses the supervised learning approach to map the regional feature vector to a saliency score, and finally fuses the saliency scores across multiple levels, yielding the salency map.

Rich Feature Hierarchies for Accurate Object Detection and Semantic Segmentation
TL;DR: RCNN as discussed by the authors combines CNNs with bottom-up region proposals to localize and segment objects, and when labeled training data is scarce, supervised pre-training for an auxiliary task, followed by domain-specific fine-tuning, yields a significant performance boost.
