Abstract

Salient object detection is very important in many image and vision-related applications. We add the depth clue into the detection method to extract salient objects. In low-level feature extract part, we extract the depth edge and corner clue, combining with color image features to form a 55 dimensions’ vector. In the high-level prior part, the depth prior is used to predict the probability together with the other three priors. The experiment result showed that with the depth clue, the salient detection result is improved.
