Abstract

A method is provided to predict the location of attention focus probability trajectories due to distractions in a test video. A peripheral sensitivity probability map is created base upon a nominal measurement map, and an attention probability map, which are both based on a test video input. A focus of attention probability map with distraction is produced based upon the peripheral sensitivity map, the nominal measurement map, the attention probability map and a distractibility control input.

Claims (13)

1. A method of predicting video location of attention focus probability trajectories due to distractions comprising:

creating a nominal measurement map based upon a test video input;

creating an attention probability map based upon a test video input;

creating a peripheral sensitivity probability map based upon the nominal measurement map and the attention probability map;

creating a focus of attention probability map with distraction based upon the nominal measurement map, the attention probability map, the peripheral sensitivity map and a distractibility control; and

providing an attention weighting measurement map based upon the focus of attention probability map with distraction and the nominal measurement map.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising formatting the attention weighting measurement map and displaying the attention weighting measurement map.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, pooling attention weighting measurements and displaying an attention weighting measurement, including distraction.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the nominal measurement map is based upon the test video input and a reference video input.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the attention probability map is based upon the test video input and a reference video input.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein creating the peripheral sensitivity probability map comprises convolving a sensitivity map versus eccentricity map based upon the nominal measurement map with the attention probability map.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the creating the focus of attention probability with distraction map elevates areas of low attention based upon a level of distraction.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing the attention weighting measurement map uses the attention related map as a mask of the nominal measurement map.
