This paper developed a new model of region extraction based on salient region detection and scale-space primal sketch. In the proposed model, we extract the region of interest (ROI) in two steps. Firstly, we estimate the extent of object by means of region detection, which considers the feature that contributes most to the saliency map. Secondly, we use the scale-space primal sketch to acquire an explicit representation of the significant image structure which gives a qualitative description of the scales and regions of interest. Finally, we combine the results from the two steps. Applications to extract ROI showed that this new model could lead to better results which can be used for guiding later stage processing.
