Abstract

Automatic salient region detection in an image is useful for image compression, image cropping for resizing on smaller displays, object recognition and tracking. In this paper case-based reasoning is used to make a system learn the relevant attributes of a salient region, based on global and local color contrast. CIELab colorspace is used as it is perceptually uniform and matches the human visual perception. The parameters used are background colors at the boundary, color distance, spatial variance, size of the connected components of salient color and dominant colors. Intensity values are used to deal with images containing black and white shades. Exemplar images are presented to the system to categorize the cases. The method is tested on a large image database.
