Few-Shot Personalized Saliency Prediction Using Tensor Regression for Preserving Structural Global Information
share
This paper presents a few-shot personalized saliency prediction using tensor-to-matrix regression for preserving the structural global information of personalized saliency maps (PSMs). In contrast to a general saliency map, a PSM has been great potential since its map indicates the person-specific visual attention that is useful for obtaining individual visual preferences from heterogeneity of gazed areas. The PSM prediction is needed for acquiring the PSM for the unseen image, but its prediction is still a challenging task due to the complexity of individual gaze patterns. For recognizing individual gaze patterns from the limited amount of eye-tracking data, the previous methods adopt the similarity of gaze tendency between persons. However, in the previous methods, the PSMs are vectorized for the prediction model. In this way, the structural global information of the PSMs corresponding to the image is ignored. For automatically revealing the relationship between PSMs, we focus on the tensor-based regression model that can preserve the structural information of PSMs, and realize the improvement of the prediction accuracy. In the experimental results, we confirm the proposed method including the tensor-based regression outperforms the comparative methods.
