1. A method of determining a saliency map for an image, said method comprising using a processing device for executing the steps of determining to which of at least two predetermined scene categories a scene depicted in the image belongs wherein each of the at least two predetermined scene categories is associated with a different predetermined set of weights, each predetermined set of weights comprising weights for colour dependent subbands, selecting the weight set associated with the determined scene category, splitting the image into colour dependent frequency subbands and orientation subbands by splitting the image into colour components and applying wavelet transformation to each colour component, determining early feature maps for the subbands by extracting visual features from the wavelet transforms by a center-surround mechanism based on a Difference of Gaussian, using the selected weight set for weighting the early feature maps and fusing the weighted feature maps.
