Revisiting Image Pyramid Structure for High Resolution Salient Object Detection
Taehun Kim Kunhee Kim Joonyeong Lee Dongmin Cha Jiho Lee Daijin Kim
Abstract
Salient object detection (SOD) has been in the spotlight recently, yet hasbeen studied less for high-resolution (HR) images. Unfortunately, HR images andtheir pixel-level annotations are certainly more labor-intensive andtime-consuming compared to low-resolution (LR) images and annotations.Therefore, we propose an image pyramid-based SOD framework, Inverse SaliencyPyramid Reconstruction Network (InSPyReNet), for HR prediction without any ofHR datasets. We design InSPyReNet to produce a strict image pyramid structureof saliency map, which enables to ensemble multiple results with pyramid-basedimage blending. For HR prediction, we design a pyramid blending method whichsynthesizes two different image pyramids from a pair of LR and HR scale fromthe same image to overcome effective receptive field (ERF) discrepancy. Ourextensive evaluations on public LR and HR SOD benchmarks demonstrate thatInSPyReNet surpasses the State-of-the-Art (SotA) methods on various SOD metricsand boundary accuracy.
