An Experiment in Distributed Visual Attention
Pilar Bachiller, Pablo Bustos, José María Plaza, R. Royo · 2016
Abstract. Attention mechanisms of biological vision have been applied to ma-chine vision for several applications, like visual search and object detection. Most of the proposed models are centred on a unique way of attention, mainly stimulus-driven or bottom-up attention. We propose a visual attention system that integrates several attentional behaviours. To get a real-time implementa-tion, we have designed a distributed software architecture that exhibits an effi-cient and flexible structure. We describe some implementation details and real experiments performed in a mobile robot endowed with a stereo vision head. 1
