Active visual search using saliency
This repository contains the active visual search code and the saliency map generator from the paper "Visual Saliency Improves Autonomous Visual Search". The code is written in C++ and comes as a stand-alone code or a ROS package.
The saliency code uses the color of the sought object and generates a bottom-up map using the AIM algorithm and a top-down map using the histogram backprojection technique. The final result is a weighted combination of both maps.
