Saliency map using features derived from spiking neural networks of primate visual cortex
We propose a framework inspired by biological vision systems to produce saliency maps of digital images. Well-known computational models for receptive fields of areas in the visual cortex that are specialized for color and orientation perception are used. To model the connectivity between these areas we use the CARLsim library which is a spiking neural network(SNN) simulator. The spikes generated by CARLsim, then serve as extracted features and input to our saliency detection algorithm. This new method of saliency detection is described and applied to benchmark images.

A model of saliency-based visual attention for rapid scene analysis
A visual attention system, inspired by the behavior and the neuronal architecture of the early primate visual system, is presented. Multiscale image features are combined into a single topographical saliency map. A dynam…
