High level saliency prediction for smart game balancing

Summarization: Predicting visual attention can significantly improve scene design, interactivity and rendering. For example, image synthesis can be accelerated by reducing computation on non-attended scene regions; attention can also be used to improve LOD. Most previous attention models are based on low-level image features, as it is computationally and conceptually challenging to take into account highlevel factors such as scene context, topology or task.Presented on
