Detailed Description

This is the MEX file version of the Saliency program
This file compiles into a MEX file that can be called from within Matlab for extracting the saliency information from an image. The call from Matlab is:
[num_sal, coords, times, salmap, modfunc, areas, labels] = Saliency(image, targets, max_time, foa_size, weights, normtype, smoothFactor, levels);

Compared to mexSaliency.C, this version contains a HueChannel.

The return values are:

Parameters:

	num_sal	the number of salient spots found
	coords	(2, num_sal) array that contains the x and y coordinates of the salient spots in (1,:) and (2,:), respectively
	times	(1, num_sal) array that contains the evolution times
	salmap	the saliency map (normalized between 0 and 1)
	modfunc	(num_sal, height, width) array that contains the modulation functions for the salient spots, maxnormalized to 1.0
	areas	(1, num_sal) array that contains the number of pixels for salient spot that have contributed to the modulation function
	labels	{num_sal} cell array containing the label strings from the size info analysis

The only required argument is:

Parameters:

image

the input image

Optional paramters that have pre-assigned default values are:

Parameters:

	targets	map of the same size as the input image, in which targets for the focus of attention are 255 and the rest is zero. Pass a scalar 0 (the default) if you have no targets to look for.
	max_time	the maximum amount of (simulated) time that the saliency map should evolve in seconds (default: 0.7)
	foa_size	the size of the focus of attention in pixels. The default is 1/12 of min(height, width) of the input image. Pass -1 if you want to use the default.
	weights	Vector of length 3 containing the weights for the following channels (in this order): [wIntens, wOrient, wColor] (default: [1.0 1.0 1.0])
	normtype	normalization type; see fancynorm.H (default: 2 = VCXNORM_NORM)
	smoothMethod	method used for smoothing the shapeEstimator masks; see ShapeEstimatorModes.H; (default: 1 = Gaussian Smoothing)
	levels	Vector of length 6 containing the following parameters: [sm_level, level_min, level_max, delta_min, delta_max, nborients] (default: [4 2 4 3 4 4])
