Description:

Selective attention mechanisms for perceiving the environment are of a great interest in current research. Visual attention (VA) refers to the ability of a vision system to rapidly detect salient locations in a given scene for localization, identification and understanding of objects in a dynamic environment. Attention in computer vision aims to mimic natural vision systems by selecting just desired input information. Human VA, bio-inspired models, feature extraction, saliency maps, VA related pre-attentive and attentive tasks, problem solving methods, and ontologies as well as application of VA in domains ranging from scene understanding and robotics to video interpretation and advertising are welcome. Implementation aspects involving artificial neural networks, highly parallel or hybrid architectures are further potential items considered proper for this pre-organized session.

If you are interested in submitting a paper in this session, please ask the organizer about your intentions. After the organizer agree to include your paper in his/her session, you could select the session in the submission form.
