Edge-Aware Convolution Neural Network Based Salient Object Detection.

Salient object detection has received great amount of attention in recent years. In this letter, we propose a novel salient object detection algorithm, which combines the global contextual information along with the low-level edge features. First, we train an edge detection stream based on the state-of-the-art holistically-nested edge detection (HED) model and extract hierarchical boundary informa...
