Abstract

To overcome the challenging problems in saliency detection, we propose a novel semi-supervised classifier which makes good use of a linear feedback control system (LFCS) model by establishing a relationship between control states and salient object detection. First, we develop a boundary homogeneity model to estimate the initial saliency and background likelihoods, which are regarded as the labeled samples in our semi-supervised learning procedure. Then in order to allocate an optimized saliency value to each superpixel, we present an iterative semi-supervised learning framework which integrates multiple saliency cues and image features using an LFCS model. Via an innovative iteration method, the system gradually converges an optimized stable state, which is associating with an accurate saliency map. This paper also covers comprehensive simulation study based on public datasets, which demonstrates the superiority of the proposed approach.
