How important is a particular object in a photograph of a complex scene? We propose a definition of importance and present two methods for measuring object importance from human o...
We observe that everyday images contain dozens of objects, and that humans, in describing these images, give different priority to these objects. We argue that a goal of visual rec...
We consider a problem central in aerial visual surveillance applications { detection and tracking of small, independently moving objects in long and noisy video sequences. We dire...
This paper presents the results of two psychophysical experiments and an associated computational analysis designed to quantify the relationship between visual salience and visual...
Most accurate predictions are typically obtained by learning machines with complex feature spaces (as e.g. induced by kernels). Unfortunately, such decision rules are hardly access...
