A Deep Convolutional Network for Saliency Object Detection with Balanced Accuracy and High Efficiency

It is difficult for current salient object detection algorithms to reach a good balance performance between accuracy and efficiency. To solve this problem, a deep convolutional network for saliency object detection with balanced accuracy and high efficiency is produced. First, through replacing the traditional convolution with the decomposed convolution, the computational complexity is greatly reduced and the detection efficiency of the model is improved. Second, in order to make better use of the characteristics of different scales, sparse cross-layer connection structure and multi-scale fusion structure are adopted to improve the detection precision. A wide range of evaluations show that compared with the existing methods, the proposed algorithm achieves the leading performance in efficiency and accuracy.
