            Abstract : 
A fast algorithm to extract the visual saliency map from digital video is proposed in this research. Since digital video is stored and/or transmitted in coded form, we utilize the motion vector field (MVF) for foreground/background separation and apply an image based contrast model for further performance improvement. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by experimental results.
