  • Method and apparatus for detecting salient object in image
    Patent number: 11430205
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for detecting a salient object in an image includes separately performing convolution processing corresponding to at least two convolutional layers on a to-be-processed image to obtain at least two first feature maps of the to-be-processed image, performing superposition processing on at least two first feature maps included in a superposition set in at least two sets to obtain at least two second feature maps of the to-be-processed image, the at least two sets are in a one-to-one correspondence with the at least two second feature maps, and a resolution of a first feature map included in the superposition set is lower than or equal to a resolution of a second feature map corresponding to the superposition set, and splicing the at least two second feature maps to obtain a saliency map.
