Real-time salient object detection

Abstract

Salient object detection techniques have a variety of multimedia applications of broad interest. However, the detection must be fast to truly aid in these processes. There exist many robust algorithms tackling the salient object detection problem but most of them are computationally demanding. In this demonstration we show a fast salient object detection system implemented in a conventional PC environment. We examine the challenges faced in the design and development of a practical system that can achieve accurate detection in real-time.
