The simultaneous need for a wide angle of field and high resolution has led to the use of spatially variant sensors in active vision systems. The use of such sensors however necessitates the existence of gaze control mechanisms for guiding the foveal high resolution region of the sensor to points of interest in the visual world. In this paper, we describe the use of iconic scene descriptions for top-down foveal targeting.
Some recent work has a memory based flavor.
