Computes a saliency map and gist, intended for use by machines.

See the DemoSaliency modute for more explanations about saliency and gist algorithms and for a demo output intended for human viewing.

What is returned depends on the selected output image resolution; it should always be grayscale, and can contain any of:

• saliency map only
• saliency + gist
• saliency + feature maps
• saliency + feature maps + gist

See the example video mappings provided with this module for sample resolutions and the associated elements that are returned.

Serial Messages

This module can send standardized serial messages as described in Standardized serial messages formatting. One message is issued on every video frame at the temporally filtered attended location. The id field in the messages simply is salient for all messages.

See Standardized serial messages formatting for more on standardized serial messages, and Helper functions to convert coordinates from camera resolution to standardized for more info on standardized coordinates.
