A Comparative Study of Visual Salient Features Affect Object Recognition

Abstract:

The color, shape and texture are the basic intrinsic features of visual scene and important features for scene recognition and visual salient feature. The recognition of four targets of “bird”, “ball”, “butterfly” and “flower” under the color image, gray image, edge image and low-pass blurred image was completed in the paper through psychology experiment, and the experimental result showed that the speed to recognize the color image was quickest, it was a little slower to recognize the gray image with the same accuracy of the color image, the edge image had a great impact on the recognition of certain object, thus increasing the recognition time, the blurred image increased the time to recognize various objects while reduced the recognition accuracy. The cognitive research on the scene image’s visual feature is helpful to reveal the secrets of human information processing and explore the law for the formulation of human visual saliency.
