What's the role color play in saliency detection
Dawei Wang, Jian Li, Xiangjing An · 2016
Color information has always been employed as a low level feature to predict saliency region in many saliency models. Unfortunately, it is still ambiguous how color information affect the performance of saliency detection. In this paper, there are 16 state-of-the-art saliency models, divided into 3 categories, have been collected for a thorough study on how color information affect salience region detection. Experimental results suggest that: 1) color information plays a negative role in certain conditions though it is always considered helpful in saliency computation, 2) by adding more features to the saliency model, the influence of color information can be mitigated.
