“…SOD has been applied to many fields, including content-based image editing [1][2][3][4], image and video compression [5], object segmentation and recognition [6][7][8][9][10], visual tracking [11][12][13], image retrieval [14,15], etc. Due to their powerful ability to extract information, SOD [16,17] and other related tasks (e.g., video salient object detection [18,19], co-saliency detection [20,21], light field salient object detection [22][23][24], etc.) are often used as preprocesses in visual tasks.…”
