  1. Context for low-level saliency detection Devi Parikh, Larry Zitnick and Tsuhan Chen

  2. For what can context be used? • So far higher level tasks • What about lower level tasks? • Picking out salient (representative) patches in an image?

  3. SVM Sample image Build histogram Classify ? Sample image Set up Bag-of-words paradigm

  4. Saliency • Interest point detectors • [Lowe 2004, Harris 1988, Kadir-Brady 2001, etc.] • Uniform • Discriminative • [Nowak et al., ECCV 06, Vidal-Naquet et al., ICCV 2003] • Contextual • Co-occurrence based • Relative location based

  5. Contextual saliency • Occurrence based Association of patch i to word a Association of patch j to word b Likelihood of word b given word a Normal distribution Normal distribution MLE from images • Similarly, relative location based

  12. Sampling strategies • Sorting • Random sampling • Sequential sampling

  13. Sequential sampling

  14. Sequential sampling

  16. Results

  17. Contributions • Context can be leveraged for low-level tasks • Outperform several existing saliency measures • Sparse representation was found to be more accurate

  18. Discussion • Discrminative vs. contextual saliency • Saliency is a subjective term: task and domain dependent • Representative (usual) • Interesting (unusual) • Generic defintion: Informative • Contextual saliency is unsupervised but is dataset dependent
