基于用户主动需求检测显著物体,突破传统视觉刺激局限。

Determined by User Needs: A Salient Object Detection Rationale Beyond Conventional Visual Stimuli

  • 提出用户主动需求驱动的显著物体检测新范式
  • 首次定义并倡导用户显著物体检测(UserSOD)任务
  • 解决视觉刺激主导方法无法满足真实用户需求的问题

现有显著物体检测(SOD)方法依赖被动视觉刺激——视觉特征越强的物体越易被关注。然而,该方法忽略用户在看图前已有的主动需求,如用户目标是“白苹果”,则其关注点应为图像中“最像白苹果”的物体。这种忽视导致检测结果无法满足实际需求,并限制下游任务发展。例如,在显著物体排序任务中,仅依赖视觉刺激会因忽略用户需求与观看顺序的关系而产生错误排序。因此,本文提出用户显著物体检测(UserSOD)任务,旨在根据用户预先存在的需求来识别其关注对象。该任务的核心挑战在于缺乏可用于训练和测试的数据集。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Existing \textbf{s}alient \textbf{o}bject \textbf{d}etection (SOD) methods adopt a \textbf{passive} visual stimulus-based rationale--objects with the strongest visual stimuli are perceived as the user's primary focus (i.e., salient objects). They ignore the decisive role of users' \textbf{proactive needs} in segmenting salient objects--if a user has a need before seeing an image, the user's salient objects align with their needs, e.g., if a user's need is ``white apple'', when this user sees an image, the user's primary focus is on the ``white apple'' or ``the most white apple-like'' objects in the image. Such an oversight not only \textbf{fails to satisfy users}, but also \textbf{limits the development of downstream tasks}. For instance, in salient object ranking tasks, focusing solely on visual stimuli-based salient objects is insufficient for conducting an analysis of fine-grained relationships between users' viewing order (usually determined by user's needs) and scenes, which may result in wrong ranking results. Clearly, it is essential to detect salient objects based on user needs. Thus, we advocate a \textbf{User} \textbf{S}alient \textbf{O}bject \textbf{D}etection (UserSOD) task, which focuses on \textbf{detecting salient objects align with users' proactive needs when user have needs}. The main challenge for this new task is the lack of datasets for model training and testing.
