A computational model of depth-based attention

Abstract
We present a computational model for attention. It consists of an early parallel stage with preattentive cues followed by a later serial stage, where the cues are integrated. We base the model on disparity image flow and motion. As one of the several possibilities we choose a depth-based criterion to integrate these cues, in such a way that the attention is maintained to the closest moving object. We demonstrate the technique by experiments in which a moving observer selectively mask our different moving objects in real scenes.
