Abstract: Salient object detection (SOD) has been in the spotlight recently, yet has been studied less for high-resolution (HR) images. Unfortunately, HR images and their pixel-level annotations are certainly more labor-intensive and time-consuming compared to low-resolution (LR) images. Therefore, we propose an image pyramid-based SOD framework, Inverse Saliency Pyramid Reconstruction Network (InSPyReNet), for HR prediction without any of HR datasets. We design InSPyReNet to produce a strict image pyramid structure of saliency map, which enables to ensemble multiple results with pyramid-based image blending. For HR prediction, we design a pyramid blending method which synthesizes two different image pyramids from a pair of LR and HR scale from the same image to overcome effective receptive field (ERF) discrepancy. Our extensive evaluation on public LR and HR SOD benchmarks demonstrates that InSPyReNet surpasses the State-of-the-Art (SotA) methods on various SOD metrics and boundary accuracy.

How to use easy download
Downloading each dataset, checkpoint is quite bothering, even for me ๐ค. Instead, you can download data we provide including ImageNet pre-trained backbone checkpoints, Training Datasets, Testing Datasets for benchmark, Pre-trained model checkpoints, Pre-computed saliency maps with single command below.
python utils/download.py --extra --dest [DEST]--extra, -e: Without this argument, only the datasets, checkpoint, and results from our main paper will be downloaded. Otherwise, all data will be downloaded including results from supplementary material and DIS5K results.--dest [DEST], -d [DEST]: If you want to specify the destination, use this argument. It will automatically create a symbolic links of the destination folders insidedataandsnapshots. Use this argument if you want to download data on other physical disk. Otherwise, it will download inside this repository folder.
If you want to download a certain checkpoint or pre-computed map, please refer to Getting Started and Model Zoo.
Please refer to getting_started.md for training, testing, and evaluating on benchmarks, and inferencing on your own images.
Please refer to model_zoo.md for downloading pre-trained models and pre-computed saliency maps.
