Recursive Contour Saliency Blending Network for Accurate Salient Object Detection


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Contour information plays a vital role in salient object detection. However, excessive false positives remain in predictions from existing contour-based models due to insufficient contour-saliency fusion. In this work, we designed a network for better edge quality in salient object detection. We proposed a contour-saliency blending module to exchange information between contour and saliency. We adopted recursive CNN to increase contour-saliency fusion while keeping the total trainable parameters the same. Furthermore, we designed a stage-wise feature extraction module to help the model pick up the most helpful features from previous intermediate saliency predictions. Besides, we proposed two new loss functions, namely Dual Confinement Loss and Confidence Loss, for our model to generate better boundary predictions. Evaluation results on five common benchmark datasets reveal that our model achieves competitive state-of-the-art performance.
