A back-propagation significance detection method based on depth map mining, comprising: for an input image Io, at a preprocessing phase, obtaining a depth image Id and an image Cb with four background corners removed of the image Io; at a first processing phase, carrying out positioning detection on a significant region of the image by means of the obtained image Cb with four background corners removed and the obtained depth image Id to obtain the preliminary detection result S1 of a significant object in the image; then carrying out depth mining on a plurality of processing phases of the depth image Id to obtain corresponding significance detection results; and then optimizing the significance detection result mined in each processing phase by means of a back-propagation mechanism to obtain a final significance detection result map. The method can improve the detection accuracy of the significance object.
