Abstract
An image salient object segmentation method and an apparatus based on reciprocal attention between a foreground and a background, and the method includes: obtaining a feature map corresponding to a training image based on a convolutional neural backbone network, and obtaining foreground and background initial feature responses according to the feature map; obtaining a reciprocal attention weight matrix, and updating the foreground and background initial feature responses according to the reciprocal attention weight matrix, to obtain foreground and background feature maps; training the convolutional neural backbone network according to the foreground and the background feature maps based on a cross entropy loss function and a cooperative loss function, to obtain a foreground and background segmentation convolutional neural network model; and inputting an image to be segmented into the foreground and background segmentation convolutional neural network model to obtain foreground and background prediction results.
