Analysis of saliency object detection algorithms for search and rescue operations

Abstract

The aim of saliency object detection algorithms is to find objects in image or video which draw attention of humans at the first sight. This very popular topic in robotics and computer vision research is useful in various areas and applications like object segmentation, adaptive compression, object recognition, visual surveillance and so on. In this paper, we will explore the possibilities of using these algorithms on the problem of detection of objects for Search and Rescue operations (SAR) in UAV images.
