  • Patent number: 9646056
    Abstract: Described is a system for rank-ordered and cognitive saliency schema-based object selection. The system receives a set of unnormalized probabilities corresponding to a set of objects competing for attentional selection in a current environment. Each unnormalized probability in the set of unnormalized probabilities is based on a likelihood estimation of encountering the corresponding object in the current environment. The set of objects is ranked based on a set of cognitive saliency values corresponding to the set of objects to generate a rank-ordered list of cognitive saliency values. The rank-ordered list of cognitive saliency values is analyzed to detect a schema of the current environment by which the set of objects is ranked. The schema is learned and stored along with a reward measure of the schema's utility. A maximum saliency object in the set of objects is selected based on the rank-ordered list of cognitive saliency values.

  • Publication number: 20160248987
    Abstract: The invention provides a light-field camera for capturing multiple views of a scene, representing samples of a light-field, having: a primary camera configured for capturing a primary digital two-dimensional image of the scene; a two-dimensional camera array having a plurality of secondary cameras, each of the secondary cameras being configured for capturing a secondary digital two-dimensional image of the scene to produce at least one set of secondary digital two-dimensional images of the scene; a semitransparent mirror arranged such that an incident light beam originating from the scene is split up in a first partial light beam, directed to the primary camera, and a second partial light beam, directed to the camera array; and a processing unit configured for receiving the primary digital two-dimensional image and the at least one set of secondary digital two-dimensional images and configured for computing depth information for the primary digital two-dimensional image or a digital two-dimensional image corr
