We revisited texture saliency, took it to color images, introduced it to airborne remote sensing image processing and then deduced an objective evaluation to local and global saliency. We proposed a model to implement saliency computation, decomposed input image into three channels, cut down the computational expense to the lowest level, extracted texture saliency from the different channels respectively, combined them in an innovative way, and then detected the saliency hierarchy. Distinct from previous approaches in the domain, our method based on biological model and had clear physical meaning. Our method could robustly work no matter how complex the input images were.
