Device and Method for Creating a Saliency Map of an Image

Abstract

The invention concerns a method for creating a saliency map of an image. It comprises the steps of an image comprising the step of hierarchical decomposition of the image into frequential sub-bands, According to the invention, the method comprises the steps of i. movement estimation between the current image and a preceding image calculated from the decomposition into frequential sub-bands, estimating a dominant movement for the image and a local movement for each pixel of the current image, ii. creation of a temporal saliency map obtained from the global and local movement estimation.
