Saliency prediction in 360° architectural scenes: Performance and impact of daylight variations

Marilyne Andersen, Sabine Süsstrunk, Caroline Karmann, Bahar Aydemir, Kynthia Chamilothori, Seungryong Kim

Saliency models are image-based prediction models that estimate human visual attention. Such models, when applied to architectural spaces, could pave the way for design decisions where visual attention is taken into account. In this study, we tested the pe ...

Cognitive and visual abilities decline with age. Recently, it has been suggested that the risk to suffer from dementia is associated with decreased visual acuity. Two theories, the sensory deprivation theory (stating that visual impairments cause cognitive ...

Unraveling brain interactions in vision: the example of crowding

Michael Herzog, Bogdan Draganski, Vitaly Chicherov, Maya Anna Jastrzebowska

In visual crowding, the presence of neighboring elements impedes the perception of a target. Crowding is traditionally explained with feedforward, local models. However, increasing the number of neighboring elements can decrease crowding, i.e., lead to unc ...

Towards Modelling of Visual Saliency in Point Clouds for Immersive Applications

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou, Peisen Xu

Modelling human visual attention is of great importance in the field of computer vision and has been widely explored for 3D imaging. Yet, in the absence of ground truth data, it is unclear whether such predictions are in alignment with the actual human vie ...

Introduction: In crowding, neighboring elements impede the perception of a target. Surprisingly, increasing the number of neighboring elements can decrease crowding, i.e., lead to uncrowding (Manassi et al., 2015). Few neuroimaging studies have explored th ...

Preservation of visual function in an animal model of retinal degeneration using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni, Tommaso Marchetti

Aims: Inherited Retinal Disorders represent a difficult target for gene therapy. This study exploits the possibility of using CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing in photoreceptor progenitors to prevent cell death. We performed all the experiments on Rd10 mice, ...

Preventing visual function loss in the rd10 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa using gene editing

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni

Currently, there is no known cure for retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Even if some treatments can slow down the progression of the disease, none of them can effectively stop retinal degeneration. This study exploits the possibility of an early intervention in p ...

Automatic prediction of salient regions in images is a well developed topic in the field of computer vision. Yet, virtual reality omnidirectional visual content brings new challenges to this topic, due to a different representation of visual information an ...
