Title
Dynamic visual attention: searching for coding length increments
Abstract
Abstract A visual attention system should respond placidly when,common stimuli are pre- sented, while at the same time keep alert to anomalous visual inputs. In this paper, a dynamic,visual attention model based on the rarity of features is proposed. We introduce the Incremental Coding Length (ICL) to measure,the perspective en- tropy gain of each feature. The objective of our model is to maximize the entropy of the sampled visual features. In order to optimize energy consumption, the limit amount,of energy of the system is re-distributed amongst features accord- ing to their Incremental Coding Length. By selecting features with large coding length increments, the computational system can achieve attention selectivity in both static and dynamic,scenes. We demonstrate that the proposed model achieves superior accuracy in comparison,to mainstream,approaches in static saliency map generation. Moreover, we also show that our model captures several less-reported dynamic visual search behaviors, such as attentional swing and inhibition of re- turn.
