Abstract

A computer-implemented method for annotating images is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes generating a saliency map corresponding to an input image, wherein the input image is an image that requires annotation, generating a behavior saliency map, wherein the behavior saliency map is a saliency map formed from an average of a plurality of objects contained within respective bounding boxes of a plurality of sample images, generating a historical saliency map, wherein the historical saliency map is a saliency map formed from an average of a plurality of tagged objects in the plurality of sample images, fusing the saliency map corresponding to the input image, the behavior saliency map, and the historical saliency map to form a fused saliency map, and generating, based on the fused saliency map, a bounding box around an object in the input image.
