  • System and method for performing saliency detection using deep active contours
    Patent number: 10699151
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for performing saliency detection on an image or video. The method includes training and creating deep features using deep neural networks, such that an input image is transformed into a plurality of regions, which minimizes intra-class variance, and maximizes inter-class variance, according to one or more active contour energy constraints. The method also includes providing and output associated with the deep features.
    Type: Grant
