A Novel Multiresolution Spatiotemporal Saliency Detection Model and Its Applications in Image and Video Compression ChenleiGuo Liming Zhang Image Processing 2010
Outline • Introduction • Phase Spectrum of Quaternion Fourier Transform(PQFT) • Detect Proto-Objects in the Spatiotemporal Saliency Map • Hierarchical Selectivity (HS) • Experiment Result • Applications in Image and Video Coding • Conclusions and Discussions
Introduction • Most traditional object detectors need training • Graph-based visual saliency detection can be very powerful but it demands a very high computational cost • Most of the models only consider static images
Phase Spectrum of Quaternion Fourier Transform(PQFT) (1/3) • Locations with less periodicity or less homogeneity create ”pop out” proto objects in the reconstruction of the image’s phase spectrum • An early saliency detection model : PFT
Quaternion Representation (2/3) • Define the input image captured at time t as F(t) • r(t), g(t), b(t) are color channels of F(t)
Calculate the Saliency Map By PQFT (3/3) 2-D gaussian filter
Detect Proto-Objects (1/3) • : the object candidate area • The search stops when is satisfied
How PQFT Select Visual Resolution • PQFT simulates the human vision system(HVS)
Hierarchical Selectivity • Set hierarchical level
Experiment Results • Video Sequence • Natural Images • Psychological Patterns
Evaluation Method - ROC • True Positive Rate(TPR), False Positive Rate(FPR) • Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) • ROC curve = TPR/FPR • ROC area = area beneath ROC curve • The larger ROC area is, the better the prediction power of a saliency map.
Applications in Image and Video Coding • Multiresolution Wavelet Domain Foveation Model (MWDF) • Evaluate the performance of the HS-MWDF model in Image and video compression
Multiresolution Wavelet Domain Foveation Model (MWDF) • JPEG 2000 has included the region-of-interest(RoI) coding in drafts • A better way to find RoI:use Hierarchical Selectivity
The Performance of HS-MWDF in Image Compression • We use HS-MWDF model as a front end before standard compression (JPEG 2000) • Set nfov => we only use the first n OCAs found by PQFT Auto fov => let the program itself decide the number
Conclusion and Discussion • Extend PFT model to PQFT model • PQFT model is independent of parameters and prior knowledge, and is fast enough to meet real-time requirements • Develop a model called HS-MWDF as a front end before the image/video encoder • Problems: • Can’t deal with closure patterns well • Only considers bottom-up information • Insert the model into the image/video encoders
