Abstract :
According to the nature of saliency map generation with colour contrast, a non-attention region first initialisation (NARFI) k-means clustering for saliency detection is proposed. The NAR is obtained by multiwavelet reconstruction based on the cutoff low-frequency. The initial seeds of the k-means are chosen from the NAR. This way, the NAR is clustered in a fine manner, whereas the attention region is clustered in a coarse manner. As a result, the saliency values of the attention region with the NARFI k-means clustering are more conspicuous than those with the k-means++ clustering.
