In existing superpixel-wise saliency detection algorithms, superpixel generation often is an isolated preprocessing step. The performance of saliency maps is determined by the accuracy of superpixels to a certain extent. However, it is still a challenge to develop a stable superpixel generation method. In this paper, we attempt to incorporate the superpixel generation and saliency calculation steps into an end-to-end trainable deep network. First, we employ a recently proposed differentiable superpixel generation method to over-segment the SAR images, which outputs the possibility that the pixels assigned to neighbor superpixels (soft superpixel). In saliency calculation part, as one of our main contributions, we propose a differentiable and computationally simple saliency model, i.e., lacunarity cue. It is inspired by the fact that generally the backscattering intensity of regions of interest (ROIs) in SAR images irregularly fluctuates. While the areas with consistent pixels are often ignored as the clusters. We improve the pixel-wise box differential dimension algorithm to measure the irregularity of scattering points in a superpixel. The superpixel generation and saliency calculation can be implemented under a unified deep network. Hence the shapes of the superpixels can be iteratively adjusted according to the saliency maps until the ROIs are correctly detected. Experiments on real SAR images with different sizes and scenes show that the saliency maps can effectively highlight the target areas, outperforming the state-of-the-art saliency detection models.
