Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for retrieving an image from a user in a desired format and for detecting a compression efficiency for the image. When the compression efficiency is above a pre-selected threshold the computer-implemented method includes obtaining a saliency representation of the image, capturing a feature description of a non-salient portion of the image, flattening the non-salient portion in a new image, storing the new image in a selected format in a memory and storing a background descriptor for the image in the memory.
