Markus presents “Visuospatial Functionality for Active Observers: The Same-Different Task” at NCFRN 2017

By tech | May 2, 2017 | Category Presentations

Visuospatial Functionality for Active Observers: The Same-Different Task Venue: NSERC Canadian Field Robotics Network, Ottawa, 2017 Abstract: To understand vision in computational terms brings us closer to understand how the brain works and transferring this knowledge to build machines whose visual system approaches human ability would be extremely useful in a great number of applications […]

Person Following Robot using Selected Online Ada-Boosting using a Stereo Camera

By tech | February 12, 2017 | Category Uncategorized

Abstract: Person following behaviour is an important task for social robots. For letting robots to follow a person, we have to track the target in real time without critical failures. There are many situations where the robot will potentially loose tracking in a dynamic environment, e.g. occlusion, illumination, pose-changes, etc. Often, people use a complex […]

J.K. Tsotsos, Y. Kotseruba, and C. Wloka (2016) A cluster of conspicuity representations for eye fixation selection. Society for Neuroscience (SfN)   Abstract: A computational explanation of how visual attention, interpretation of visual stimuli, and eye movements combine to produce visual behavior seems elusive. Here, we focus on one component: how selection is accomplished for […]

New Dataset: Joint Attention in Autonomous Driving (JAAD)

By tech | January 3, 2017 | Category Uncategorized

JAAD is a new dataset (by I. Kotseruba, A. Rasouli, J.K. Tsotsos) for studying joint attention in the context of autonomous driving. It contains an annotated collection of short video clips representing scenes typical for everyday urban driving in various weather conditions. JAAD dataset contains 346 high-resolution video clips (most are 5-10 sec) extracted from […]

R. Sengupta, J.K. Tsotsos, S-A. Yoo, C. Wloka, and T. Kunic (2016) Beyond slots and resources: an integrative approach to visual working memory. Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Abstract: In order to perform everyday visual tasks we store temporary sensory information in visual working memory (VWM). In spite of considerable neurophysiological and psychophysical data, the actual […]

Calden presented “Psychophysical Evaluation of Saliency Algorithms” at VSS 2016

By toli95 | June 14, 2016 | Category Uncategorized

Authors: Calden Wloka, Sang-Ah Yoo, Rakesh Sengupta, Toni Kunic, and John K. Tsotsos Title: Psychophysical Evaluation of Saliency Algorithms Abstract: A great deal of effort has been spent evaluating the performance of saliency algorithms at predicting human fixations in natural images. However, many other aspects of human visual attention have received relatively little focus in […]
