Abstract:
A region-of-interest detection apparatus for improving detection accuracy of a region of interest in a case where a region of interest overlaps a background region, or in a case where feature amounts of a region of interest and a background region are similar to each other calculates feature amounts of regions where partial regions and a background region set in an input image overlap each other, and based on the calculated feature amounts and a feature amount of each position in the input image, calculates a foreground level of the position in the input image. Then, the region-of-interest detection apparatus detects a region of interest from the input image based on the calculated foreground level and a saliency of the position.

Claim (Index 1):
A region-of-interest detection apparatus comprising:\n a segmentation unit configured to segment an input image into a plurality of partial regions; a setting unit configured to set a background region in the input image; a foreground level calculation unit configured to calculate a foreground level indicating a possibility of a foreground based on a plurality of feature amounts of the partial regions and a feature amount of each of a plurality of positions in the input image; a saliency calculation unit configured to, based on the feature amount of one of the positions in the input regions and a feature amount of a portion around the position, calculate a saliency indicating a degree of saliency of the position; and a detection unit configured to detect a region of interest based on the foreground level and the saliency of the position.
