Abstract
Systems and methods for using visual attention modeling techniques to evaluate a scene from multiple perspectives.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of images taken from perspectives of a 3D scene;
- receiving input identifying at least some of the objects appearing in the plurality of images;
- analyzing the plurality of images with a visual attention model;
- based on the analysis, determining identified objects that are predicted to receive visual attention across the perspectives of the 3D scene;
- and
- additionally determining the degree to which the objects that are predicted to receive visual attention are robust respective to changes within visual properties of the 3D scene.
3 more elements
A computer system comprising:
- a processor and memory;
- a multi-perspective scene analysis module, operative to at least:
- (1) receive a plurality of images taken from perspectives of a 3D scene;
- (2) identify at least some objects appearing in the images;
- (3) apply a visual attention module the images, the visual attention module operative to predict objects within the images that are predicted to receive visual attention;
- and,
- (4) determine which of the identified objects are predicted to receive visual attention across the perspectives of the 3D scene;
- and
- a robustness assessment module operative to determine the degree to which identified objects or images are robust respective to changes within visual properties of the 3D scene.
