Existing RGB-D saliency detection models do not explicitly encourage RGB and depth to achieve effective multi-modal learning. In this paper, we introduce a novel multi-stage cascaded learning framework via mutual information minimization to explicitly model the multi-modal information between RGB image and depth data. Specifically, we first map the feature of each mode to a lower dimensional feature vector, and adopt mutual information minimization as a regularizer to reduce the redundancy between appearance features from RGB and geometric features from depth. We then perform multi-stage cascaded learning to impose the mutual information minimization constraint at every stage of the network. Extensive experiments on benchmark RGB-D saliency datasets illustrate the effectiveness of our framework. Further, to prosper the development of this field, we contribute the largest (7x larger than NJU2K) dataset, which contains 15,625 image pairs with high quality polygon-/scribble-/object-/instance-/rank-level annotations. Based on these rich labels, we additionally construct four new benchmarks with strong baselines and observe some interesting phenomena, which can motivate future model design. Source code and dataset are available at https://github.com/JingZhang617/cascaded_rgbd_sod.

RGB-D saliency detection has attracted increasing attention, due to its effectiveness and the fact that depth cues can now be conveniently captured. Existing works often focus on learning a shared representation through various fusion strategies, wit
h few methods explicitly considering how to preserve modality-specific characteristics. In this paper, taking a new perspective, we propose a specificity-preserving network (SP-Net) for RGB-D saliency detection, which benefits saliency detection performance by exploring both the shared information and modality-specific properties (e.g., specificity). Specifically, two modality-specific networks and a shared learning network are adopted to generate individual and shared saliency maps. A cross-enhanced integration module (CIM) is proposed to fuse cross-modal features in the shared learning network, which are then propagated to the next layer for integrating cross-level information. Besides, we propose a multi-modal feature aggregation (MFA) module to integrate the modality-specific features from each individual decoder into the shared decoder, which can provide rich complementary multi-modal information to boost the saliency detection performance. Further, a skip connection is used to combine hierarchical features between the encoder and decoder layers. Experiments on six benchmark datasets demonstrate that our SP-Net outperforms other state-of-the-art methods. Code is available at: https://github.com/taozh2017/SPNet.
We propose the first stochastic framework to employ uncertainty for RGB-D saliency detection by learning from the data labeling process. Existing RGB-D saliency detection models treat this task as a point estimation problem by predicting a single sal
iency map following a deterministic learning pipeline. We argue that, however, the deterministic solution is relatively ill-posed. Inspired by the saliency data labeling process, we propose a generative architecture to achieve probabilistic RGB-D saliency detection which utilizes a latent variable to model the labeling variations. Our framework includes two main models: 1) a generator model, which maps the input image and latent variable to stochastic saliency prediction, and 2) an inference model, which gradually updates the latent variable by sampling it from the true or approximate posterior distribution. The generator model is an encoder-decoder saliency network. To infer the latent variable, we introduce two different solutions: i) a Conditional Variational Auto-encoder with an extra encoder to approximate the posterior distribution of the latent variable; and ii) an Alternating Back-Propagation technique, which directly samples the latent variable from the true posterior distribution. Qualitative and quantitative results on six challenging RGB-D benchmark datasets show our approachs superior performance in learning the distribution of saliency maps. The source code is publicly available via our project page: https://github.com/JingZhang617/UCNet.
Image saliency detection is an active research topic in the community of computer vision and multimedia. Fusing complementary RGB and thermal infrared data has been proven to be effective for image saliency detection. In this paper, we propose an eff
ective approach for RGB-T image saliency detection. Our approach relies on a novel collaborative graph learning algorithm. In particular, we take superpixels as graph nodes, and collaboratively use hierarchical deep features to jointly learn graph affinity and node saliency in a unified optimization framework. Moreover, we contribute a more challenging dataset for the purpose of RGB-T image saliency detection, which contains 1000 spatially aligned RGB-T image pairs and their ground truth annotations. Extensive experiments on the public dataset and the newly created dataset suggest that the proposed approach performs favorably against the state-of-the-art RGB-T saliency detection methods.
Despite the success of large-scale empirical risk minimization (ERM) at achieving high accuracy across a variety of machine learning tasks, fair ERM is hindered by the incompatibility of fairness constraints with stochastic optimization. In this pape
r, we propose the fair empirical risk minimization via exponential Renyi mutual information (FERMI) framework. FERMI is built on a stochastic estimator for exponential Renyi mutual information (ERMI), an information divergence measuring the degree of the dependence of predictions on sensitive attributes. Theoretically, we show that ERMI upper bounds existing popular fairness violation metrics, thus controlling ERMI provides guarantees on other commonly used violations, such as $L_infty$. We derive an unbiased estimator for ERMI, which we use to derive the FERMI algorithm. We prove that FERMI converges for demographic parity, equalized odds, and equal opportunity notions of fairness in stochastic optimization. Empirically, we show that FERMI is amenable to large-scale problems with multiple (non-binary) sensitive attributes and non-binary targets. Extensive experiments show that FERMI achieves the most favorable tradeoffs between fairness violation and test accuracy across all tested setups compared with state-of-the-art baselines for demographic parity, equalized odds, equal opportunity. These benefits are especially significant for non-binary classification with large sensitive sets and small batch sizes, showcasing the effectiveness of the FERMI objective and the developed stochastic algorithm for solving it.
Light field data exhibit favorable characteristics conducive to saliency detection. The success of learning-based light field saliency detection is heavily dependent on how a comprehensive dataset can be constructed for higher generalizability of mod
els, how high dimensional light field data can be effectively exploited, and how a flexible model can be designed to achieve versatility for desktop computers and mobile devices. To answer these questions, first we introduce a large-scale dataset to enable versatile applications for RGB, RGB-D and light field saliency detection, containing 102 classes and 4204 samples. Second, we present an asymmetrical two-stream model consisting of the Focal stream and RGB stream. The Focal stream is designed to achieve higher performance on desktop computers and transfer focusness knowledge to the RGB stream, relying on two tailor-made modules. The RGB stream guarantees the flexibility and memory/computation efficiency on mobile devices through three distillation schemes. Experiments demonstrate that our Focal stream achieves state-of-the-arts performance. The RGB stream achieves Top-2 F-measure on DUTLF-V2, which tremendously minimizes the model size by 83% and boosts FPS by 5 times, compared with the best performing method. Furthermore, our proposed distillation schemes are applicable to RGB saliency models, achieving impressive performance gains while ensuring flexibility.
