The Distributed Integrated Ocean Prediction System (DIOPS) is a PC-based wave, tide and surf prediction system designed to provide DoD accurate and timely surf predictions for essentially any world-wide location. Regional and coastal wave predictions are made by the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) wave module that is typically initialized by offshore directional wave spectra from the Fleet Nu...

Zhai and Shah (2006) proposed a model of spatiotemporal saliency using a combination of temporal and spatial attention models. The temporal model utilized Lowe’s SIFT (2004) to compute feature points and the correspondences between them in successive frames. Bay, Tuytelaars, & Van Gool introduced SURF (2006) as an alternative feature detector and descriptor. The authors of SURF show that it is ...
