Hyperspectral Image Dataset for Benchmarking on Salient Object Detection

The paper introduces a new hyperspectral image dataset for benchmarking salient object detection, comprising 60 hyperspectral images, their ground‑truth binary masks, and corresponding sRGB renderings. The dataset was curated to include diverse object sizes, counts, contrasts, and positions, addressing the lack of dedicated hyperspectral data for this task. The authors also evaluate existing hyperspectral saliency models using the AUC metric and provide the dataset on GitHub and Hugging Face.
