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.

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.
