Hosted by the Bristol Vision Institute

In nature, predators encounter cluttered scenes on a regular basis. This may affect their ability to successfully hunt for prey, camouflaged or not. Since natural visual clutter is often complex, with many different objects and continuous textures present, it can be difficult to measure or define ‘clutter’. In turn, this makes it difficult to measure how clutter affects predator behaviour when searching for prey. 

In recent years, various computational models to measure visual clutter have been proposed. This talk will focus on how well a particular clutter model, Rozenholtz’s Feature Congestion model, predicts human ability to find a target on an artificial leaf litter background.
