Abstract

In this thesis, we have introduced the new computational attention system VOCUS for the efficient and robust detection of regions of interest in images. The approach regards object recognition as a two step process: first, the fast attention system detects regions of interest in the whole image and second, a classifier recognizes the content in the specified region. This separation enables an efficient processing since complex object recognition is restricted to a small image region.
