System and method for detection of objects of interest in imagery
First Claim
1. A system for detecting objects of interest in imagery, the system comprising:
- one or more processors and a memory, the memory having instructions encoded thereon, such that upon execution of the instructions, the one or more processors perform operations of;
receiving an input video;
generating an attention map, the attention map representing features found in the input video that represent potential objects-of-interest;
generating, in real-time, an eye-fixation map, the eye-fixation map representing features found in the input video that, based on a subject'"'"'s eye fixations in real-time, are potential objects-of-interest;
generating a brain-enhanced synergistic attention map by fusing the attention map with the eye-fixation map, the brain-enhanced synergistic map having a collection of potential objects-of-interest from both the attention map and eye-fixation map;
scoring the potential objects-of-interest in the brain-enhanced synergistic attention map; and
designating the potential objects-of-interest as final objects-of-interest for scores that cross a predetermined threshold.

Abstract
Described is a system for detecting objects of interest in imagery. The system is configured to receive an input video and generate an attention map. The attention map represents features found in the input video that represent potential objects-of-interest (OI). An eye-fixation map is generated based on a subject'"'"'s eye fixations. The eye-fixation map also represents features found in the input video that are potential OI. A brain-enhanced synergistic attention map is generated by fusing the attention map with the eye-fixation map. The potential OI in the brain-enhanced synergistic attention map are scored, with scores that cross a predetermined threshold being used to designate potential OI as actual or final OI.

9. A computer implemented method for detecting objects of interest in imagery, the method comprising an act of:
causing one or more processors to execute instructions encoded upon a memory, that upon execution of the instructions, the one or more processors perform operations of; receiving an input video; generating an attention map, the attention map representing features found in the input video that represent potential objects-of-interest; generating, in real-time, an eye-fixation map, the eye-fixation map representing features found in the input video that, based on a subject'"'"'s eye fixations in real-time, are potential objects-of-interest; generating a brain-enhanced synergistic attention map by fusing the attention map with the eye-fixation map, the brain-enhanced synergistic map having a collection of potential objects-of-interest from both the attention map and eye-fixation map; scoring the potential objects-of-interest in the brain-enhanced synergistic attention map; and designating the potential objects-of-interest as final objects-of-interest for scores that cross a predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product for detecting objects of interest in imagery, the computer program product comprising computer-readable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by a computer having one or more processors for causing the one or more processors to perform operations of:
-
receiving an input video; generating an attention map, the attention map representing features found in the input video that represent potential objects-of-interest; generating, in real-time, an eye-fixation map, the eye-fixation map representing features found in the input video that, based on a subject'"'"'s eye fixations in real-time, are potential objects-of-interest; generating a brain-enhanced synergistic attention map by fusing the attention map with the eye-fixation map, the brain-enhanced synergistic map having a collection of potential objects-of-interest from both the attention map and eye-fixation map; scoring the potential objects-of-interest in the brain-enhanced synergistic attention map; and designating the potential objects-of-interest as final objects-of-interest for scores that cross a predetermined threshold. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
