Abstract

We describe a method to extract visual attention regions in images by robust subspace analysis from simple feature like intensity endowed with scale adaptivity in order to represent textured areas in an image. The scale adaptive descriptor is mapped onto clusters in linear spaces. A new subspace estimation algorithm based on the Generalized Principal Component Analysis (GPCA) is proposed to estimate multiple linear subspaces. The visual attention of each region is calculated using a new region attention measure that considers feature contrast and spatial geometric properties. Compared with existing visual attention detection methods, the proposed method directly measures global visual attention at the region level as opposed to pixel level.
