Abstract
A method includes receiving, with a computing device, an image, identifying one or more salient features in the image, and generating a saliency map of the image including the one or more salient features. The method further includes sampling the image based on the saliency map such that the one or more salient features are sampled at a first density of sampling and at least one portion of the image other than the one or more salient features are sampled at a second density of sampling, where the first density of sampling is greater than the second density of sampling, and storing the sampled image in a non-transitory computer readable memory.
