Saliency & attention (P) • Lavanya Sharan • April 4th, 2011
Looking for peopleEhinger et al. (2009) Question: Where do people look and can we model it?
Looking for peopleEhinger et al. (2009) • 14 observers with tracking accuracy 0.75 deg. • Observers asked to look for pedestrians as fast as possible and answer. • 912 images. Target (pedestrian) present in half the images. • Images 23.5 x 17.7 deg, target when present 0.9 x 1.8 deg.
Inter-observer agreementEhinger et al. (2009) • Question: Do observers agree with each other? • Use fixations from n-1 observers for one image, apply gaussian blur and use this region to predict fixation of remaining observer on that image. Repeat for n observers (Torralba et al. 2006). • Do this for all images.
Cross-image controlEhinger et al. (2009) • Question: Do fixated locations depend on image content? Or do observers always look at the same places? • Use fixations from n-1 observers for one image, apply gaussian blur and use this region to predict fixation of remaining observer on a different, randomly selected image. Repeat for n observers (Torralba et al. 2006). • Do this for all images.
Performance at predicting fixation locationsEhinger et al. (2009) Inter-observer agreement (Target absent AUC=0.93, target present AUC = 0.95) Cross-image control (Target absent AUC=0.68, target present AUC = 0.62)
Modeling eye movements during pedestrian detectionEhinger et al. (2009)
Modeling eye movements during pedestrian detectionEhinger et al. (2009) • Low-level saliency. Use Torralba et al. 2006 model. • Target features. Use Dalal et al. 2005 person detector. • Scene context. Use Torralba et al. model but train on context (i.e. sidewalks not skies are good locations) + ‘Context Oracle’ (7 observers indicate good candidates for locations) • Use validation set to decide relative weighting.
