This paper proposes a new method for achieving precise video segmentation without any
supervision or interaction. The main contributions of this report include 1) the introduction of …

Scores of visual attention models have been developed over the past several decades of
research. Differences in implementation, assumptions, and evaluations have made …

We humans are easily able to instantaneously detect the regions in a visual scene that are
most likely to contain something of interest. Exploiting this pre-selection mechanism called …

The invention relates to a method of gaze estimation. As to determine the position of the
gaze without calibrating the system used for determining the gaze, the method comprises …

Automatic video segmentation plays an important role in a wide range of computer vision
and image processing applications. Recently, various methods have been proposed for this …

We propose a visibility estimation method for traffic signs as part of work for realization of
nuisance-free driving safety support systems. Recently, the number of driving safety support …

Accurate localization of the salient object from an image is a difficult problem when the
saliency map is noisy and incomplete. A fast approach to detect salient objects from images …

This paper presents a new attention model for detecting visual saliency in news video. In the
proposed model, bottom-up (low level) features and top-down (high level) factors are used …

We propose a visibility estimation method for traffic signs considering temporal
environmental changes, as a part of work for the realization of nuisance-free driver …

The ability to predict, given an image or a video, where a human might fixate elements of a
viewed scene has long been of interest in the vision community. However, one point that is …
