On connections between saliency and tracking


Vijay Mahadevan and Nuno Vasconcelos

This document contains supplementary materials referred to in the NIPS submission. It includes video sequences used in the psychophysics experiments described in the submission. The videos are available in Quicktime format (H.264), and a most recent version of Quicktime is required. Quicktime is a free software and can be downloaded from here.


Derivations and Appendix

Mapping of saliency computations to V1, saliency for velocity tuned spatiotemporal features and derivations of Equation 7.
