Abstract
Described is a system for detecting objects of interest in imagery. The system is configured to receive an input video and generate an attention map. The attention map represents features found in the input video that represent potential objects-of-interest (OI). An eye-fixation map is generated based on a subject's eye fixations. The eye-fixation map also represents features found in the input video that are potential OI. A brain-enhanced synergistic attention map is generated by fusing the attention map with the eye-fixation map. The potential OI in the brain-enhanced synergistic attention map are scored, with scores that cross a predetermined threshold being used to designate potential OI as actual or final OI.
