Visual search in medical images: a new methodology to quantify saliency
1995
Medical Imaging 1995: Image Perception
The quantification of object saliency in 2D greyscale images is of primary importance in medical imaging. Saliency, in this paper, refers to the detectability of objects of unknown location, an object being a feature of interest in an image. Object saliency is commonly measured by the speed of an observer at performing a detection task. The more salient an object is, the more quickly it can be detected. The questions raised in this paper are 1 . whether the degree of saliency of an object can
