Recently, existing FCNs‐based methods have shown their advantages in processing object boundaries. However, these methods still suffer from false object interference, which appears in saliency predictions. To solve this problem, an edge‐interior feature fusion (EIFF) framework is proposed, which consists of an internal‐boundary decoupled generation structure with receptive field enlargement and attention mechanism enhancement, and a salient feature refinement module. Specifically, the framework first learns edge features and interior features through an internal‐boundary decoupling generation network, which is supervised by labels obtained by decoupling ground‐truth through an image erosion algorithm. Then, feature refinement module (FRM) is designed to purify the coarse prediction by focusing on the ambiguous regions through a mining strategy to generate the final saliency map. To compensate for shortcomings of the BCE and IU loss, we also introduce a weighted loss to guide our model to focus more on the error‐prone parts. Experimental results on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method performs favorably against 19 state‐of‐the‐art approaches under four standard metrics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
