Putting Saliency In Its Place, John K. Tsotsos May 2015

Putting Saliency In Its Place, John K. Tsotsos

MODVIS Workshop

The role of attention and the place within the visual processing stream where the concept of saliency has been situated is critically examined by considering the experimental evidence and performing tests that link experiment to computation.

A Conceptual Framework Of Computations In Mid-Level Vision, Jonas Kubilius, Johan Wagemans, Hans P. Op De Beeck

MODVIS Workshop

The goal of visual processing is to extract information necessary for a variety of tasks, such as grasping objects, navigating in scenes, and recognizing them. While ultimately these tasks might be carried out by separate processing pathways, they nonetheless share a common root in the early and intermediate visual areas. What representations should these areas develop in order to facilitate all of these higher-level tasks? Several distinct ideas have received empirical support in the literature so far: (i) boundary feature detection, such as edge, corner, and curved segment extraction; (ii) second-order feature detection, such as the difference in orientation or …
