Study of visual saliency detection via nonlocal anisotropic diffusion equation

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a novel method for the visual saliency detection problem.

• The proposed method is based on nonlocal anisotropic diffusion equation.

• An iteration of diffusion is used to formulate the visual attention spreading.

• The boundary prior is exploited to diffusion from boundary to the entire image.

• The proposed method has a promising performance in terms of accuracy and speed.
