Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of identifying a distracting element in an image (e.g., 1100 ), is disclosed. A visual attention map (e.g., 1120 ) is determined for the image ( 1100 ), the visual attention map ( 1120 ) representing one or more regions of the image, at least one of the regions corresponding to at least a portion of a subject of the image. A salient region map (e.g., 1110 ) is determined for the image ( 1100 ), the salient region map comprising a distribution of visual attraction values defining one or more further regions of the image ( 1100 ), the one or more further regions being categorized as salient. An intersection between the visual attention map ( 1120 ) and the salient region map ( 1110 ) is determined to identify a distracting element in the image ( 1100 ). The distracting element corresponds to at least one of the salient regions.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of identifying a distracting element in an image, said method comprising: determining a visual attention map for the image, said visual attention map representing one or more regions of the image, at least one of said regions corresponding to at least a portion of a subject of the image; determining a salient region map for the image, said salient region map comprising a distribution of visual attraction values defining one or more further r…
