A new application for saliency maps: synthetic vision of autonomous actors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this paper a new and original application for saliency maps, intending to simulate the visual perception of a synthetic actor. Within computer graphics field, simulating virtual humans has become a challenging task. Animating such an autonomous actor within a virtual environment requires most of time the modeling of a perceptiondecision-action cycle. To model a part of the perception process, we have designed a new model of saliency map, based on geometric and depth information, allowing our synthetic humanoid to perceive its environment in a biologically plausible way.

Generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. Using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. In this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. The proposed technique i...

We present an overview of some principles of synthetic vision and audition for digital autonomous actors in virtual worlds. After a short review of the state-of-the-art we focus on some aspects of synthetic vision and virtual world constraints. Then, we present a simple real time structured sound renderer. This sound renderer is used as audition channel for synthetic and real actors and synchro...

This paper discusses the problem of simulating the artificial life of realistic synthetic actors. It first presents the development of the general concept of autonomous actors reacting to their environment and taking decisions based on perception systems, memory and reasoning. An example of vision-based animation with an individualized walking model is detailed. Then, we discuss facial animatio...
متن کاملCompressed-Sampling-Based Image Saliency Detection in the Wavelet Domain
When watching natural scenes, an overwhelming amount of information is delivered to the Human Visual System (HVS). The optic nerve is estimated to receive around 108 bits of information a second. This large amount of information can’t be processed right away through our neural system. Visual attention mechanism enables HVS to spend neural resources efficiently, only on the selected parts of the...
