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.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
