Progressive Focusing: A Top Down Attentional Vision System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 5358))

Abstract

The principle of a vision system based on a progressive focus of attention principle is presented. This approach considers the visual recognition strategy as an estimation problem for which the purpose is to estimate both precisely and reliably the parameters of the object to be recognized. The object is constituted of parts statistically dependent one each other thanks to a statistical model. The reliability is calculated within a bayesian framework. The case of lane sides detection for driving assistance is given as an illustration.
