Background Prior-Based Salient Object Detection via Deep Reconstruction Residual

The learning of " Background Prior-Based Salient Object Detection via Deep Reconstruction Residual" (J. Han, D. Zhang, X. Hu，and L. Guo. IEEE Transactions on Circuits and systems for video technology. Aug, 2015, pp. 1309-1321)

1 Model overview

1) Use five scales as {1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6} of the original image size to generate multiscale inputs.

2) Assume that the image boundary is mostly background. Then separately define four boundaries to get four saliency map for each image.

3) Use two-layered stacked denoising autoencoder (SDAE) model to measure the saliency.

4) Get the deep reconstruction residual maps RTOP,
