How people look at visual information reveals fundamental information about themselves, their interests and their state of mind. While previous visual attention models output static 2-dimensional saliency maps, saccadic models aim to…
By absorbing fluctuations into a local background, separate universe simulations provide a powerful technique to characterize the response of small-scale observables to the long-wavelength density fluctuations, for example those of the…
Primates constantly explore their surroundings via saccadic eye movements that bring different parts of an image into high resolution. In addition to exploring new regions in the visual field, primates also make frequent return fixations,…
When selective attention is devoted to one of multiple stimuli within receptive fields of neurons in visual area V4, cells respond as if only the attended stimulus was present. The underlying neural mechanisms are still debated, but…
Humans acquire semantic object representations from egocentric visual streams with minimal supervision, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Importantly, the visual system only processes the center of its field of view with high…
The result of 2-dimensional Gaussian lattice fit to a speckle intensity pattern based on a linear model that includes nearest-neighbor interactions is presented. We also include a Monte Carlo simulation of the same spatial speckle pattern…
In this paper, we present an analysis of eye gaze patterns pertaining to visual cues in augmented reality (AR) for head-mounted displays (HMDs). We conducted an experimental study involving a picking and assembly task, which was guided by…
Humans constantly move their eyes, even during visual fixations, where miniature (or fixational) eye movements occur involuntarily. Fixational eye movements comprise slow components (physiological drift and tremor) and fast components…
Structural relaxation in hard-sphere colloidal glasses has been studied using confocal microscopy. The motion of individual particles is followed over long time scales to detect the rearranging regions in the system. We have used normal…
This work presents a study on the extraction and analysis of a set of 101 categories of eye movement features from three types of eye movement events: fixations, saccades, and post-saccadic oscillations. The eye movements were recorded…
A binocular system developed by the author in terms of projective Fourier transform (PFT) of the conformal camera, which numerically integrates the head, eyes, and visual cortex, is used to process visual information during saccadic eye…
We consider a system of $N$ disordered mean-field interacting diffusions within spatial constraints: each particle $\theta_i$ is attached to one site $x_i$ of a periodic lattice and the interaction between particles $\theta_i$ and…
Background: Outdoor navigation poses significant challenges for people with blindness or low vision, yet the role of gaze behavior in supporting mobility remains underexplored. Fully sighted individuals typically adopt consistent scanning…
It has been shown, that high resolution images can be acquired using a low resolution sensor with non-regular sampling. Therefore, post-processing is necessary. In terms of video data, not only the spatial neighborhood can be used to assist…
The importance of an element in a visual stimulus is commonly associated with the fixations during a free-viewing task. We argue that fixations are not always correlated with attention or awareness of visual objects. We suggest to filter…
Inspired by human visual attention, deep neural networks have widely adopted attention mechanisms to learn locally discriminative attributes for challenging visual classification tasks. However, existing approaches primarily emphasize the…
An optical field will undergo coherent diffusion when it is mapped into thermal-motioned atoms, e.g., in a slow or storage light process. As was demonstrated before, such diffusion effect is equivalent to a spatial low-pass filter…
How the brain co-ordinates the actions of distant regions in an efficient manner is an open problem. Many believe that cross-frequency coupling between the amplitude of high frequency local field potential oscillations in one region and the…
In many computer vision tasks, the relevant information to solve the problem at hand is mixed to irrelevant, distracting information. This has motivated researchers to design attentional models that can dynamically focus on parts of images…
Learning generalizable skills in robotic manipulation has long been challenging due to real-world sized observation and action spaces. One method for addressing this problem is attention focus -- the robot learns where to attend its sensors…
