Image segmentation systems have the potential to dramatically improve the performance of Digital image processing. Segmentation procedures partition an image into its constituent parts or objects. In general, segmentation is one of the most difficult tasks in digital image processing. Detection of salient image regions is useful for applications like image segmentation, adaptive compression, and region-based image retrieval. This problem can be tackled by mapping the pixels into various feature spaces, which are subjected to various grouping algorithms It present a novel method to determine salient regions in images using low-level features of luminance and color. The method is fast, easy to implement and generates high quality saliency maps of the same size and resolution as the input image.
