Abstract
A method of obtaining a saliency map from a plurality of saliency maps created from different visual quantities. Initially the saliency maps are normalized based on a theoretical maximum of each visual quantity. An intra-competition step selects the main saliency areas in each saliency map. An inter-competition step is then performed based on a sum of the intra-map competition with an inter-map redundancy term that is a function of the product of the intra-map competitions and of the probability of a site appearing on the saliency maps.
