Modeling visual attention.
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantitative modeling of psychological data is both technically and mathematically challenging. The present article introduces a user friendly and flexible program package that enables quantitative fits of Bundesen's (1990) theory of visual attention to behavioral data from whole and partial report experiments. The program package is based on new computational formulas that are more general than previous ones and has already been used successfully in a number of neuropsychological investigations of attentional disorders, such as visual neglect and simultanagnosia. A clinical version of the program package is currently under development.

Visual Attention: From Bio-Inspired Modeling to Real-Time Implementation
V isual attention is the ability of a vision system, be it biological or artificial, to rapidly select the most salient and thus the most relevant data about the environment in which the system is operating. The main goal of this visual mechanism is to drastically reduce the amount of visual information that must be processed by high level and thus complex tasks, such as object recognition, whi...
متن کاملNeurobiological Modeling of Bursting Response During Visual Attention
Thalamic neurons have an exclusive property named bursting response. Bursting response seems to have a critical role in producing saliency map and encoding conspicuity of locations during visual attention. Attention window is developed in thalamus due to its retinotopic organization. The global competitive network in thalamic reticular nucleus (NRT) determines which thalamic cells should produc...

The temporal dynamics of the effects of lateralized visual selective attention within the lower visual field were studied with the combined application of event-related potentials (ERPs) and positron emission tomography (15O PET). Bilateral stimuli were rapidly presented to the lower visual field while subjects either passively viewed them or covertly attended to a designated side to detect occ...

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 کاملDoes Variation in Quality Scores Result from Variation in Visual Attention?
Novel research in image quality assessment attempts to further improve the reliability of objective metrics by taking into account visual attention of the human visual system. Modeling visual attention in an objective metric, however, is not yet a trivial task, partly because earlier work has shown that the added value of including visual attention is content dependent. In this paper, we attemp...
