1. A visual attention apparatus based on mind awareness, comprising:

  • a preprocessor downsampling input images to perform filtering, object segmentation, and context analysis;

    a context collection unit collecting context information for context recognition;

    a memory storage unit storing context information collected in the context collection unit and favorable impressions of the context information with the objects;

    a visual attention processor receiving the filtered images from the preprocessor, the segmented objects, and the context analysis results to collect data from the input images through an extrinsic visual attention model and an intrinsic visual attention model due to command words and the context information and favorable impression stored in the memory storage unit, thereby setting an extrinsic attention region and an intrinsic attention region; and

    a visual attention decision unit deciding the attention regions for the extrinsic attention regions and the intrinsic attention regions set in the visual attention processor according to a decision rule.
