Towards Object-Based Saliency
Michal Dziemianko, Alasdair D. F. Clarke, Frank Keller · 2012
Eye movements during scene comprehension can be seen as a series of decisions where and when to look. There has been substantial work towards determining likely fixation locations and the best known methods involve the computation of saliency maps which assign “interestingness” values to each coordinate of analyzed image. However these methods are usually purely bottom-up and only consider low-level visual features. In this paper we present preliminary work towards creating a computational framework based on the alternative cognitive relevance hypothesis.
