Method and system for determining an occlusion cost for concurrently presenting one or more images in a shared viewing region
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining an occlusion cost for concurrently presenting multiple images within a shared viewing region, said method comprising:
- receiving image saliency data for a first image to be displayed concurrently with a second image in said shared viewing region;
receiving image saliency data for said second image;
receiving a layout orientation for concurrently presenting said first image and said second image within said shared viewing region; and
utilizing said image saliency data for said first image and said image saliency data for said second image to determine the occlusion cost of said layout orientation for concurrently presenting said first image and said second image within said shared viewing region.

Abstract
Methods and systems for determining an occlusion cost for concurrently presenting multiple images within a shared viewing region are described. Image saliency data is received for a first image to be displayed concurrently with a second image in the shared viewing region. Image saliency data is received for the second image. A layout orientation is received for concurrently presenting the first image and the second image within the shared viewing region. The image saliency data for the first image and the image saliency data for the second image are utilized to determine the occlusion cost of the layout orientation for concurrently presenting the first image and the second image within the shared viewing region.
