Abstract

This Chapter describes the approaches for object-based saliency computation, which can be roughly grouped into two categories. Approaches in the first category focus on segmenting the whole salient object by using locationbased saliency maps, while approaches in the second category focus on directly computing visual saliency on object level. In this Chapter, we will introduce the technical details of six approaches from these two categories and their performance will be compared at the end of this Chapter.
