Claim One:
1. Method for creating a saliency map of an image comprising the step of hierarchical decomposition of the image into frequency sub-bands, comprising the steps of movement estimation between current image and a preceding image calculated from the decomposition into frequency sub-bands, estimating a dominant movement for the image and a local movement for each pixel of the current image, obtaining a relative motion vector for each pixel of the image, being the difference between a local motion estimation and the dominant movement of the image of said pixel, wherein it further comprises the steps of if the value of a norm of the relative motion vector is higher than a maximal pursuit velocity of an eye, multiplying the relative motion vector by the maximal pursuit velocity of an eye over the norm of the relative motion vector, computing a histogram of the module of the obtained relative motion vectors of an image in order to obtain a normalized temporal saliency map.
