Common Interfaces of Saliency

Saliency : Algorithm

class Saliency

Base abstract class for Saliency algorithms:

class CV_EXPORTS Saliency : public virtual Algorithm
{
  public:

  virtual ~Saliency();

  static Ptr<Saliency> create( const String& saliencyType );

  bool computeSaliency( const InputArray image, OutputArray saliencyMap );

  String getClassName() const;
};

Saliency::create

Creates a specialized saliency algorithm by its name.

C++: static Ptr<Saliency> Saliency::create(const String& saliencyType)

Parameters:

• saliencyType – saliency Type

The following saliency types are now supported:

• "SPECTRAL_RESIDUAL" – StaticSaliencySpectralResidual
• "BING" – ObjectnessBING

Saliency::computeSaliency

Performs all the operations, according to the specific algorithm created, to obtain the saliency map.

C++: bool Saliency::computeSaliency(const InputArray image, OutputArray saliencyMap)

Parameters:

• image – image or set of input images. According to InputArray proxy and to the needs of different algorithms (currently plugged), the param image may be Mat or vector<Mat>
• saliencyMap – saliency map. According to OutputArray proxy and to the results given by different algorithms (currently plugged), the saliency map may be a Mat or vector<Vec4i> (BING results).

Saliency::getClassName

Get the name of the specific Saliency Algorithm.

C++: String Saliency::getClassName() const
