Saliency detection with hybrid artificial bee colony-firefly optimization method

Implementation of optimization algorithms in image processing is a quite common area of research. Detecting salient fields in images can be used for problems such as object recognition, image segmentation or video tracking problems. This case makes the determination of saliency an important factor in image processing. The algorithms developed for salient region detection are divided into two approaches as bottom-up and top-down. The bottom-up techniques determine salient regions according to the data, and the top-down techniques discover these regions by the learning of visual information of a certain object. This paper presents an optimization technique for bottom-up saliency detection algorithm based on Hybrid Artificial Bee Colony- Firefly algorithm.
