Introduction

This page contains software and instructions for Space-Time Saliency [1].

Installation

The code is divided into two parts: Part 1 is hosted on Microsoft's website, containing the core implementation of the space-time saliency method; Part 2 is hosted on GitHub, containing the auxiliary files (including library, toolbox, a video and a demo) to use this code. You need to download both parts and unzip them in the same folder (eg, ./sal).

1. set sal to your current folder in Matlab;
2. Run make.m in Matlab to compile all C++ files;
3. Run addPath.m to add sub-directories into the path of Matlab.
4. Run demoSal.m file.

Instructions

The package contains the following files and folders:

• ./data: This folder contains several video sequence as examples.
• ./core: This folder contains the main implementation of the space-time saliency algorithm.
• ./src: This folder contains a wrapper of the space-time saliency for any video input.
• ./lib: This folder contains some necessary library functions.
• ./tool: This folder contains some 3rd party toolboxes.
• ./make.m: Matlab makefile for C++ code.
• ./addPath.m: Adds the sub-directories into the path of Matlab.
• ./demoSal.m: A demo file for generating and visualizing the saliency for a video input.
