In this paper, we propose a new measure of novelty detection for target selection in visual scenes. Our approach to the definition of novelty is based on the use of local kernels and Fisher information metric in the context of support vector machine regression. We discuss the applications in the specific context of visual saccades as a mechanism of search and discuss naturel generations of the approach in other contexts. We also propose natural regularization approaches arising from consideration of the problem that can be applied to learning machines including the SVM.
