- Abstract
- Perception is one of essential capabilities for personalized autonomous agents that act like their users without intervention of the users in order to understand the environment for themselves like a human being. Visual perception in humans plays a major role to interact with objects or entities within the environment by interpreting their visual sensing information. The major technical obstacle of visual perception is to efficiently process enormous amount of visual stimuli in real-time. Therefore, computational models of visual attention that decide where to focus in the scene have been proposed to reduce the visual processing load by mimicking human visual system. This chapter provides the background knowledge of cognitive theories that the models were founded on and analyzes the computational models necessary to build a personalized autonomous agent that acts like a specific person as well as typical human beings. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
