Primes

• Salience
  • The feature space is a fixed set of dimensions — luminance, red-green and blue-yellow color opponency, and local orientation — each computed at multiple spatial scales.

Mechanisms

• Attention Gradient Following
  • Its defining move is that the sequence is carried by relative salience, not by a route: there is no line to trace, no aligned path; the eye simply visits the strongest thing, then the next-strongest

    This sourceModels bottom-up attention as successive selection of locations in decreasing saliency based on local contrast against their surroundings.
