# Selective Attention in Dynamic Vision

Richard J. Howarth, Hilary Buxton

*Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 1579-1584.

## Abstract

Selective attention can enable a vision system to perform effectively. · The high-level vision component developed here uses Bayesian networks combined with a deictic representation to ( 1) create a dynamic structure to reflect the spatial organisation of the data and (2) measure task relatedness. Together these give attentional focus making the reasoning relevant to the task.
