Referential Study of the Concept of Visual Saliency and Its Role in Object Detection in Digital Images


Abstract in English

In this research, we define the concept of visual saliency in biology and how it is described in computer science using the concept of saliency maps, and how to use these maps to detect salient objects in digital images. We also conduct experiments using several algorithms to detect salient objects, and describe how to quantify the quality of the results using clear and well-defined standards.
