Data- and model-driven gaze control for an active-vision system
Models of visual attention provide a general approach to control the activities of active vision systems. We will introduce a new model of attentional control that differs in important aspects from conventional ones. We divide the selection into two stages, which is more suitable for the system as well as explaining different phenomena found in natural visual attention, such as the dispute between early and late selection. The proposed model is especially designed for use in dynamic scenes. Our approach alms at modeling as much of a general active vision system as possible and designing clean interfaces for the integration of the remaining specific aspects needed in order to solve specific problems.
