The model predicts the existence and the number (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4+) of salient objects in an image:

Please cite the paper if you use the model. See our project page for more details:
http://www.cs.bu.edu/groups/ivc/Subitizing/
The input images should be zero-centered by mean pixel (rather than mean image) subtraction. Namely, the following BGR values should be subtracted: [103.939, 116.779, 123.68]
.

The model outputs a 5D probability vector for a test image. The each value in the 5D vector corresponds to the likelihood that this image contains 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4+ salient objects. In our experiments, test images are resized to 224X224, regardless of the original aspect ratios.
For example applications in salient object detection and object proposal generation, please see the paper.
