                Eye movements: models and applications
 
Attentive vision research investigates ways in which fast, fluent,
adaptive responses can be supported by less computationally intensive
routines, which intertwine sensing with acting and moving in the world.
An important example is provided by the use of eye movements to survey a
visual scene and to extract detailed information only at selected
foveated locations. In this talk, background on gaze control and its
relationships to attention mechanisms  will be reviewed. It will be
discussed how these ideas can be developed in computational models. Also,
it will be shown how the animate approach may be usefully applied within
realms different from robot vision, e.g., video and image database
indexing, image and video compression.
