Abstract

We extend the classical notion of visual saliency to multi-image data collected using a stationary pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. We show why existing saliency methods are not effective for this type of data, and propose ray saliency: a modified notion of visual saliency that utilizes knowledge of the imaging process in order to appropriately incorporate the context provided by multiple images. We present a practical, mosaic-free method by which to quantify and calculate ray saliency, and demonstrate its usefulness on PTZ imagery.
