Abstract

A visual attention detector includes a feature extraction unit configured to extract a spatiotemporal feature from a local region in a video; a hashing unit configured to convert a spatiotemporal feature value for the local region into a hash value, and to select a training value mapped to the hash using a hash table; and an attention measure determining unit configured to determine an attention measure on the basis of the distance between a spatiotemporal feature value for the local region and the selected training value such that the larger the distance the larger the attention measure.
