Salient object detection in low-light images via functional optimization-inspired feature polishing

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an end-to-end network called LLISOD for salient object detection (SOD) in low-light images.

• We model an implicit nonlinear mapping from biased feature maps to salient objects.

• We design an unfolded implicit nonlinear mapping module for feature polishing.

• We contribute a new dataset covering 1502 images to explore SOD in low-light images.
