Title: SalProp: Salient object proposals via aggregated edge cues,
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel object proposal generation scheme by
formulating a graph-based salient edge classification framework that utilizes
the edge context. In the proposed method, we construct a Bayesian probabilistic
edge map to assign a saliency value to the edgelets by exploiting low level
edge features. A Conditional Random Field is then learned to effectively
combine these features for edge classification with object/non-object label. We
propose an objectness score for the generated windows by analyzing the salient
edge density inside the bounding box. Extensive experiments on PASCAL VOC 2007
dataset demonstrate that the proposed method gives competitive performance
against 10 popular generic object detection techniques while using fewer number
of proposals.
