Abstract: In implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution for object detection is proposed. First, a feature(s) is extracted from an image and used to identify a candidate object region in the image. Then another feature(s) is extracted from the identified candidate object region.

In this way, the features that characterize the image from the whole scale and a local scale are both taken into consideration in object recognition, thereby improving accuracy of the object detection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques and systems for computing geodesic saliency of images using background priors. An input image may be segmented into a plurality of patches, and a graph associated with the image may be generated, the graph comprising nodes and edges. The nodes of the graph include nodes that correspond to the plurality of patches of the image plus an additional virtual background node that is added to the graph. The graph further includes edges that connect the nodes to each other, including internal edges between adjacent patches and boundary edges between those patches at the boundary of the image and the virtual background node. Using this graph, a saliency value, called the “geodesic” saliency, for each patch of the image is determined as a length of a shortest path from a respective patch to the virtual background node.
