Computational Visual Attention
نویسنده
چکیده
Visual attention is one of the key mechanisms of perception that enables humans to efficiently select the visual data of most potential interest. Machines face similar challenges as humans: they have to deal with a large amount of input data and have to select the most promising parts. In this chapter, we explain the underlying biological and psychophysical grounding of visual attention, show how these mechanisms can be implemented computationally, and discuss why and under what conditions machines, especially robots, profit from such a concept.

Just Noticeable Difference Estimation Using Visual Saliency in Images
Due to some physiological and physical limitations in the brain and the eye, the human visual system (HVS) is unable to perceive some changes in the visual signal whose range is lower than a certain threshold so-called just-noticeable distortion (JND) threshold. Visual attention (VA) provides a mechanism for selection of particular aspects of a visual scene so as to reduce the computational loa...
متن کاملGraph-based Visual Saliency Model using Background Color
Visual saliency is a cognitive psychology concept that makes some stimuli of a scene stand out relative to their neighbors and attract our attention. Computing visual saliency is a topic of recent interest. Here, we propose a graph-based method for saliency detection, which contains three stages: pre-processing, initial saliency detection and final saliency detection. The initial saliency map i...
متن کاملA New Detection Model for Saliency Map
Visual attention is a mechanism which filters out redundant visual information and focus on the most relevant parts when observing an image, many bottom-up computational models of visual attention have been devised to get the saliency map for an image. In this paper, a new visual attention model is proposed. Based on the experimental results obtained in this study, as compared with existing bot...

متن کاملStudying The Added Value of Visual Attention in Objective Image Quality Metrics
In this work, we investigate the benefits of incorporating saliency maps obtained with visual attention computational models into three image quality metrics. In particular, we compare the performance of simple quality metrics with quality metrics that incorporate saliency maps obtained using three popular visual attention computational models. Results show that performance of simple quality me...
