Matlab implementation of saliency algorithm proposed in: Fast and efficient saliency detection using sparse sampling and kernel density estimation. Rezazadegan Tavakoli H, Rahtu E & Heikkilä J, Proc. Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis (SCIA 2011), 2011, Ystad, Sweden.

The code has been tested on Matlab 2010a (32-bit) running windows. This code is publicly available for demonstration and educational purposes, any commercial use without permission is strictly prohibited.

This package contains the following files and directories:

1. calculateImageSaliency.p : computes image saliency for a single scale
2. calculateFinalSaliency.m : computes image saliency for multiple scales
3. runSaliency.m : a sample file to show how to compute saliency
4. prior.mat : a prior obtained via learning

To test:

1. Extract the package
2. run 'runSaliency.m'
