A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene and is seen to offer equal or superior performance to contemporary techniques at a relatively low-computational cost.
Abstract
A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene. Its low-computational complexity and fast runtimes makes this method well-suited for real-time vision applications. The performance of the transform is demonstrated on a wide variety of images and compared with leading techniques from the literature. Both as a facial feature detector and as a generic region of interest detector the new transform is seen to offer equal or superior performance to contemporary techniques at a relatively low-computational cost. A real-time implementation of the transform is presented running at over 60 frames per second on a standard Pentium III PC.

Pupil Center Detection Approaches: A comparative analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared four of the most frequently cited traditional methods for pupil center detection in terms of accuracy, robustness, and computational cost, including the circular Hough transform, ellipse fitting, Daugman's integro-differential operator and radial symmetry transform.

The Mechanical Design of Drowsiness Detection Using Color Based Features

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates design and fabrication of a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection that has the ability to track the eyes and investigates the state of the eye, and in the case of drowsness, the system activates the alarm.

Use of the Hough transformation to detect lines and curves in pictures

TL;DR: It is pointed out that the use of angle-radius rather than slope-intercept parameters simplifies the computation further, and how the method can be used for more general curve fitting.

Algorithms for defining visual regions-of-interest: comparison with eye fixations

TL;DR: This paper investigates and develops a methodology that serves to automatically identify a subset of aROIs (algorithmically detected ROIs) using different image processing algorithms (IPAs), and appropriate clustering procedures, and compares hROIs with hROI as a criterion for evaluating and selecting bottom-up, context-free algorithms.

Context-free attentional operators: the generalized symmetry transform

TL;DR: An attention operator based on the intuitive notion of symmetry, which generalized many of the existing methods of detecting regions of interest is presented, a low-level operator that can be applied successfully without a priori knowledge of the world.
