Abstract

A novel low-complexity visual saliency detection algorithm for detecting salient regions in images is proposed. The algorithm derives salient regions based on in-focus regions and image centre sensitivity. The performance of the algorithm in predicting human eye fixations is validated against ten state-of-the-art algorithms using a public image dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves higher prediction accuracy in saliency detection at significantly lower computational complexity compared to other algorithms.
