C++ implementation for paper "Saliency Detection via Graph-Based Manifold Ranking" by Chuan Yang, Lihe Zhang, Huchuan Lu, Xiang Ruan and Ming-Hsuan Yang. To appear in Proceedings of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2013), Portland, June, 2013.

This implementation was written originally by Chuan Yang [email protected] (3-clause BSD license) and uses an also open source SLIC implementation written by Vilson Vieira/The Grid [email protected].

It was ported and tested on MacOS X 10.9.5 and Ubuntu Linux 14.04 using GNU C++ Compiler and OpenCV 2.4.9..

• OpenCV

In a NodeJS environment:

export LIBRARY_PATH=
npm install
grunt
./build/Release foo.png

With common C++ compiler:

make
./gmr-saliency foo.png

You can also import gmr-saliency into your NoFlo project and use the GetSaliency component to extract saliency maps from JPG/PNG image files or canvas while in browser.
