Abstract: We present a trajectory-based approach to detect salient regions in videos by dominant camera motion removal. Our approach is designed in a general way so that it can be applied to videos taken by either stationary or moving cameras without any prior information. Moreover, multiple salient regions of different temporal lengths can also be detected. To this end, we extract a set of spatially and temporally coherent trajectories of keypoints in a video. Then, velocity and acceleration entropies are proposed to represent the trajectories. In this way, long-term object motions are exploited to filter out short-term noises, and object motions of various temporal lengths can be represented in the same way. On the other hand, we are inspired by the observation that the trajectories in backgrounds, i.e., the nonsalient trajectories, are usually consistent with the dominant camera motion no matter whether the camera is stationary or not. We make use of this property to develop a unified approach to saliency generation for both stationary and moving cameras. Specifically, one-class SVM is employed to remove the consistent trajectories in motion. It follows that the salient regions could be highlighted by applying a diffusion process to the remaining trajectories. In addition, we create a set of manually annotated ground truth on the collected videos. The annotated videos are then used for performance evaluation and comparison. The promising results on various types of videos demonstrate the effectiveness and great applicability of our approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
