Minimum Barrier Salient Object Detection

This is a matlab implementation of the method described in:

"Minimum Barrier Salient Object Detection at 80 FPS", Jianming Zhang, Stan Sclaroff, Zhe Lin, Xiaohui Shen, Brian Price, Radomir Mech, ICCV, 2015

Prerequisite

Matlab OpenCV 2.4+

Usage

1. Go to the folder "mex"
2. modify the opencv include and lib paths in "compile.m/compile_win.m" (for Linux/Windows)
3. run "compile/compile_win" in matlab (for Linux/Windows)
4. Go to the root folder
5. run "demo"

This matlab implementation is provided for research purpose only. For fully reproducing the results in our ICCV paper, please use the original Windows executable program.

The matlab implementation is slower than the window executable, mainly due to the morphological post-processing step. We use the highly optimized IPP library for the morphological operations in our C++ implementation, which are much faster than the corresponding Matlab functions.
