　　内容简介：

　　In this talk, we will briefly summarize QCUT algorithm and its main characteristics. Then we discuss its performance in comparison to other competing techniques for salient object extraction from images. We will also show some possible extension to image sequences (video signals). The talk will also highlight potential applications of QCUT, which are of high relevance to industry in the field.
