pyimgsaliency
A python toolbox for image saliency calculation.
The following algorithms are currently implemented for calculating saliency maps:
- Jianming Zhang, Stan Sclaroff, Zhe Lin, Xiaohui Shen, Brian Price and Radomír Měch. "Minimum Barrier Salient Object Detection at 80 FPS."
- Saliency Optimization from Robust Background Detection, Wangjiang Zhu, Shuang Liang, Yichen Wei and Jian Sun, IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2014
- R. Achanta, S. Hemami, F. Estrada and S. Süsstrunk, Frequency-tuned Salient Region Detection, IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2009), pp. 1597 - 1604, 2009
An example of the use of this package can be seen at demo.py
