Abstract: A method for determining a salient object in an image based on superpixel analysis consists of initializing superpixels using SLIC algorithm and merging of adjacent superpixels that have similar color distribution. Then, calculate the spatial and color distribution correlation between the superpixels after being merged. Combined with the statistics of the occupancy rate, the distance to the original image center, and the global contrast of the superpixels, calculate the saliency evaluation vector for each superpixel. Finally, interpolate the saliency for each pixel in the superpixel.
