Abstract

How visual attention is shared between objects moving in an observed scene is a key issue to situate vision in the world. In this note, we discuss how a computational model taking into account such issue, can be designed in a bayesian framework. To validate the model, experiments with eye-tracked human subjects are presented and discussed.
