Control of Selective Visual Attention: Modeling the "Where" Pathway
Abstract
Intermediate and higher vision processes require selection of a sub(cid:173) set of the available sensory information before further processing. Usually, this selection is implemented in the form of a spatially circumscribed region of the visual field, the so-called "focus of at(cid:173) tention" which scans the visual scene dependent on the input and on the attentional state of the subject. We here present a model for the control of the focus of attention in primates, based on a saliency map. This mechanism is not only expected to model the functional(cid:173) ity of biological vision but also to be essential for the understanding of complex scenes in machine vision.
