We also integrate SC-RPN into Fast R-CNN and Faster R-CNN to test its effectiveness on object detection task, the experimental results achieve a gain of 3.2% and 3.8% in terms of mAP compared to the original ones.Human attention is an interactive activity between our visual system and our brain, using both low-level visual stimulus and high-level semantic information. Previous image salient object detection (SOD) studies conduct their saliency predictions via a multitask methodology in which pixelwise saliency regression and segmentation-like saliency refinement are conducted simultaneously. However, this multitask methodology has one critical limitation the semantic information embedded in feature backbones might be degenerated during the training process. Our visual attention is determined mainly by semantic information, which is evidenced by our tendency to pay more attention to semantically salient regions even if these regions are not the most perceptually salient at first glance. This fact clearly contradicts the widely used multitask methodology mentioned above. To address this issue, this paper divides the SOD problem into two sequential steps. First, we devise a lightweight, weakly supervised deep network to coarsely locate the semantically salient regions. Next, as a postprocessing refinement, we selectively fuse multiple off-the-shelf deep models on the semantically salient regions identified by the previous step to formulate a pixelwise saliency map. Compared with the state-of-the-art (SOTA) models that focus on learning the pixelwise saliency in single images using only perceptual clues, our method aims at investigating the object-level semantic ranks between multiple images, of which the methodology is more consistent with the human attention mechanism. Our method is simple yet effectiv
