B1-3 A Method of Detecting Salient Regions from an Image

Abstract

This paper proposes a method of detecting salient regions from an image. Detection of salient regions is important, because it is expected to improve the precision and the processing speed of object recognition through image processing. The proposed method employs human visual characteristics, i.e., complementary color harmony and Purkinje phenomenon to detect salient regions from an image. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the spatial redundancy considering global redundancy and local redundancy, based on the human visual characteristics.
