Attentive vision: models and applications

Prof. Giuseppe Boccignone
Università degli Studi di Salerno, Italy

Abstract:

Attentive vision research investigates ways in which fast, fluent, adaptive responses can be supported by less computationally intensive routines, which intertwine sensing with acting and moving in the world. An important example, is provided by the use of eye movements to survey a visual and to extract detailed information only at selected foveated locations. In this talk, background on gaze control and its relationships to attention mechanisms will be reviewed. It will be discussed how these ideas can be developed in computational models and related to tasks such as learning. Also, it will be shown how the animate approach may be usefully applied within realms different from robot vision, e.g., video and image databases indexing, image and video compression.
