Saliency Detection Using Wavelet Transform in Hypercomplex Domain

To solve the incompleteness of the salient region obtained by the existing saliency detection method in the frequency domain, a frequency saliency detection method of multi-scale analysis is proposed. Firstly, the quaternion hypercomplex is constructed by the input image feature channels. Then, the multi-scale decomposition of the quaternion amplitude spectrum is performed by wavelet transform, and the multi-scale visual saliency map is calculated. Finally, the better saliency map is fused based on the evaluation function, and central bias is used to generate the final visual saliency map. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the background interference, find significant target quickly and accurately, and have high detection accuracy.
