Neurobiology, Psychophysics, and Computational Models of Visual Attention
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this workshop was to discuss both recent experimental findings and computational models of the neurobiological implementation of selective attention. Recent experimental results were presented in two of the four presentations given (C.E. Connor, Washington University and B.C. Motter, SUNY and V.A. Medical Center, Syracuse), while the other two talks were devoted to computational models (E. Niebur, Caltech, and B. Olshausen, Washington University).

How Does Our Visual System Achieve Shift and Size Invariance?
The question of shift and size invariance in the primate visual system is discussed. After a short review of the relevant neurobiology and psychophysics, a more detailed analysis of computational models is given. The two main types of networks considered are the dynamic routing circuit model and invariant feature networks, such as the neocognitron. Some specific open questions in context of the...

متن کاملJust 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...

Abstract: This paper presents a simplified, introductory view of how visual atThis paper presents a simplified, introductory view of how visual attention may contribute to and integrate within the broader framework of visual scene understanding. Several key components are identified which cooperate with attention during the analysis of complex dynamic visual inputs, namely rapid computation of ...
متن کاملModels of Bottom-Up Attention and Saliency
Visually conspicuous, or so-called salient, stimuli often have the capability of attracting focal visual attention towards their locations. Several computational architectures subserving this bottom-up, stimulus-driven, spatiotemporal deployment of attention are reviewed in this article. The resulting computational models have applications not only to the prediction of visual search psychophysi...
