Saliency detection is an active topic in multimedia field. Several algorithms have been proposed in this field. Most previous works on saliency detection focus on 2D images. However, for some complex situations which contain multiple objects or complex background, they are not robust and their performances are not satisfied. Recently, 3D visual information supplies a powerful cue for saliency detection. In this paper, we propose a multilayer backpropagation saliency detection algorithm based on depth mining by which we exploit depth cue from three different layers of images. The evaluation of the proposed algorithm on two challenging datasets shows that our algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art.

How to use:
1. Add test image to ./center_prior/Image/ and ./Image/, then run center_prior to get the center image in ./center_prior/center_results/.
2. Add depth to ./Depth/, then run OURS1.m show the first layer result in ./OURS1/.
3. Run OURS2.m, then get the second layer result in ./OURS2/.
4. Run OURS.m, then get our final result in ./OURS/.
If you encounter an error, please restart MATLAB and re-run the code as described above.

The proposed algorithm shows a good performance and maintains the robustness in complex situations. Experiments' results show that the proposed framework is superior to other existing saliency approaches. Besides, we give two innovative applications by this algorithm, such as scene reconstruction from multiple images and small target object detection in video.",
