Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Visual search for a specific object in an unknown environment by autonomous robots is a complex task. The key challenge is to locate the object of interest while minimizing the cost of search in terms of time or energy consumption. Given the impracticality of examining all possible views of the search environment, recent studies suggest the use of attentive processes to optimize visual search. In this paper, we describe a method of visual search that exploits the use of attention in the form of a saliency map. This map is used to update the probability distribution of which areas to examine next, increasing the utility of spatial volumes where objects consistent with the target's visual saliency are observed. We present experimental results on a mobile robot and conclude that our method improves the process of visual search in terms of reducing the time and number of actions to be performed to complete the process.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
