Saliency-based automatic thumbnail generation
This article presents an automatic process used to automatically crop images, This tool is necessary to meet the constraints (small display) of the new portable device (Mobile phone...), The principle of the reframing rests on both the detection and the selection on the most interesting parts of the picture. These areas are detected by a computational model of the bottom-up visual attention. First, the results of this model are compared to results stemming from an eye tracking apparatus. Second, the performances of the whole system are presented.
