Method, apparatus and system for identifying distracting elements in an image

摘要

A method of identifying a distracting element in an image (e.g., 1100), is disclosed. A visual attention map (e.g., 1120) is determined for the image (1100), the visual attention map (1120) representing one or more regions of the image, at least one of the regions corresponding to at least a portion of a subject of the image. A salient region map (e.g., 1110) is determined for the image (1100), the salient region map comprising a distribution of visual attraction values defining one or more further regions of the image (1100), the one or more further regions being categorized as salient. An intersection between the visual attention map (1120) and the salient region map (1110) is determined to identify a distracting element in the image (1100). The distracting element corresponds to at least one of the salient regions.
