Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental In the experiment, we collect a new dataset of 364 color images with within-image cosaliency. Experiment results show that the proposed method can better detect the within-image co-saliency than existing algorithms.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Co-saliency detection within a single image.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide concrete access to source code for the methodology described.
Open Datasets No Therefore, we collect a new image dataset, consisting of 364 color images. Each image shows certain level of withinimage co-saliency, e.g., the presence of multiple instances of the same object class with very similar appearance.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions evaluating on the full dataset (364 images) and on subsets like 'easy' (299 images) and 'challenging' (65 images), but it does not specify explicit train/validation/test dataset splits needed for reproducibility.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using the "CVX convex optimization toolbox" but does not specify its version number, nor does it list other software dependencies with specific version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes In our experiment, we generate M = 100 object proposals. The number of proposal groups is set to N = 10. The number of proposals in each group is set to K = 2. We set the balance factors λ = 0.01 in Eq. (4) and β = 0.05 in Eq. (6). The number of clusters is set to Z = 6 in the Kmeans algorithm. The initial within-image saliency map h(X) is computed using the algorithm developed in (Li and Yu 2016). Starting from the initial saliency map h(X), we first threshold this saliency map by a threshold (0.2 in our experiments)
