00001 /** \dir src/Gist 00002 00003 \brief Rapid computation of the gist of the scene 00004 00005 This directory contains code for the rapid computation of the gist 00006 of a visual scene. In the broad sense, the gist of a scene is what 00007 you get from in in a single brief glance; for example that it is 00008 indoors, a kitchen, rather colorful. Computationally, we here tend 00009 to characterize the gist of a scene as a low-dimensional signature 00010 that is characteristic of the entire image. The associated 00011 semantic properties of the scene (e.g., indoors vs outdoors) can 00012 then be recovered through classification on the signature vector. 00013 00014 for dependency graphs: 00015 rankdir: RL 00016 */ 00017 00018 // $HeadURL: svn://isvn.usc.edu/software/invt/trunk/saliency/src/Gist/README.dxy $ 00019 // $Id: README.dxy 5749 2005-10-19 08:15:48Z itti $ 00020 00021 // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 00022 // The iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit - Copyright (C) 2001 by the // 00023 // University of Southern California (USC) and the iLab at USC. // 00024 // See http://iLab.usc.edu for information about this project. // 00025 // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 00026 // Major portions of the iLab Neuromorphic Vision Toolkit are protected // 00027 // under the U.S. patent ``Computation of Intrinsic Perceptual Saliency // 00028 // in Visual Environments, and Applications'' by Christof Koch and // 00029 // Laurent Itti, California Institute of Technology, 2001 (patent // 00030 // pending; application number 09/912,225 filed July 23, 2001; see // 00031 // http://pair.uspto.gov/cgi-bin/final/home.pl for current status). // 00032 // //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // 00033 // This file is part of the iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit. // 00034 // // 00035 // The iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit is free software; you can // 00036 // redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General // 00037 // Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either // 00038 // version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. // 00039 // // 00040 // The iLab Neuromorphic Vision C++ Toolkit is distributed in the hope // 00041 // that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the // 00042 // implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR // 00043 // PURPOSE.
