By integrating the autowave front for each UCM iteration an image signature is created. These signatures have the ability to discriminate objects. Below is a chart that shows the signatures for a single object that is moving. Each plot depicts the signature for the object moving in different directions. Foveation Foveation is the act that moves the center of attention about a scene.
Humans tend to foveation at corners and edges.
Using the UCM it is possible to find the corners of the segments and use those as foveation points. For the most part, they are coincident with natural foveation points.
