ACTIVE VISUAL ATTENTION MODELS FOR COMPUTER VISION TASKS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image analysis system, comprising:
- an imaging device;
a controller operatively connected to the imaging device; and
a non-transitory machine-readable memory disposed in communication with the controller and having instructions recorded thereon that, when read by the controller, cause the controller to;
obtain an image with a first field of view and first effective resolution;
analyze the image with a visual attention module to identify one or more areas of interest in the first field of view;
obtain one or more subsequent images for each area of interest with a second or more fields of view with each of the associated effective resolutions being greater than the first effective resolution; and
make a decision about the scene by aggregating information extracted from the images.

Abstract
An imaging method includes obtaining an image with a first field of view and first effective resolution and the analyzing the image with a visual attention algorithm to one identify one or more areas of interest in the first field of view. A subsequent image is then obtained for each area of interest with a second field of view and a second effective resolution, the second field of view being smaller than the first field of view and the second effective resolution being greater than the first effective resolution.

15. An image analysis method for making a decision about a scene, comprising:
-
obtaining an image of the scene with a first field of view and first effective resolution; analyzing the image with a visual attention algorithm to identify one or more areas of interest in the first field of view; obtaining a subsequent image for one or more areas of interest, each of the subsequent images having an associated field of view that is smaller than the first field of view and an effective resolution that is greater than the first effective resolution; and making a decision about the scene by aggregating information extracted from the obtained images. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
