HIDE TopicsTechnology Convergence
Name Smart Eyes: Attending and recognizing instances of salient events
Acronym SEARISE
Area ICT-2007.2.1 Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics
Start Date2008-03-01
Duration 36 months
Status Execution
DescriptionThe SEARISE project will develop a trinocular active cognitive vision system, the Smart-Eyes, for detection, tracking and categorization of salient events and behaviours. Unlike other approaches in video surveillance, the system will have human-like capability to learn continuously from the visual input, self-adjust to ever changing visual environment, fixate salient events and follow their motion, categorize salient events dependent on the context. Inspired by the human visual system, a cyclopean camera will perform wide range monitoring of the visual field while active binocular stereo cameras will fixate and track salient objects, mimicking a focus of attention that switches between different interesting locations.
