Saliency detection using a deep conditional random field network

作者:

Highlights:

• Designed a multi-scale backward optimization network which can hold both rich inherent features from shallower layers and semantic features from deeper layers, then high-level features are transmitted backward to guiding low-level features.

• Deep CRF network is introduced to form the relationships between adjacent pixels which is crucial to improve the quality of saliency maps.

• All modules can be conveniently embedded into other Convolutional Neural Networks for feature and relation representation.
