Saliency Detection Inspired by Topological Perception Theory

1. Introduction

• A computational model of the topological perception theory from Lin Chen;
• A statistic experiment to reveal the close relation between topological perception theory and visual attention (saliency);
• Topological saliency prior-guided saliency detection and salient object detection framework.

2. How to use

• Unzip EdgeDetection.zip, and put model file: modelBsds.mat into .\EdgeDetection\models\forest\;
• Set your paths in Demo.m
• Run Demo.m
