Much of the neural machinery of the early visual cortex, from the extraction of local orientations to contextual modulations through lateral interactions, is thought to have …
Recent advances in the field of saliency have concentrated on fixation prediction, with benchmarks reaching saturation. However, there is an extensive body of works in …
In the first seconds of observation of an image, several visual attention processes are involved in the identification of the visual targets that pop-out from the scene to our eyes …
A benchmark of saliency models performance with a synthetic image dataset is provided. Model performance is evaluated through saliency metrics as well as the influence of model …
Previous studies suggested that lateral interactions of V1 cells are responsible, among other visual effects, of bottom-up visual attention (alternatively named visual salience or saliency) …
In this thesis we try to explain (1) how we move our eyes,(2) how to build machines that understand visual information and deploy eye movements, and (3) how to make these …
Humans sample visual information by making eye movements towards different parts of their surroundings. Understanding what guides this sampling process is an important goal of …
Computational models of saliency estimation have been studied in a wide range of research fields, including visual perception, image processing, computer vision, multimedia, and their …
The human visual system processes information defining what is visually conspicuous (saliency) to our perception, guiding eye movements towards certain objects depending on …
