HUMAN VISUAL SALIENCY
This is an intriguing topic which deals with how we humans see and
understand our surroundings. A clear working knowledge of human visual
attention and fixation patterns could help researchers develop more
robust algorithms to mimic human behavior more closely. In this thread, I
will talk about the process of "visual salience calculation" and
existing methods for modeling them. Feel free to comment or start any
related threads.
Understanding the importance of a certain image/object feature is can be modeled using the following two approaches,
- The top-bottom approach based on the objective of the test.
- The bottom-up approach which involves with the primitive sensory inputs into the human brain.
The latter is more interesting, since that models the natural human mind's selective procedure.
