TIAN Ya-nan, LEI Hong-wei, WANG Xu. A Vision Substitution Method Based on Visual Attention Models[J]. Acta Electronica Sinica, 2014, 42(5): 890-895. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0372-2112.2014.05.009.
The existing vision substitution methods are only used in special environments because their mapping features are obtained by object recognition.Aiming at this problem
a vision substitution method based on visual attention models is proposed.Firstly
regions of interest are extracted according to human visual properties.And on the basis of the auditory display theory
PSC mapping method is presented that the position
size and color of regions of interest are respectively mapped into note loudness
duration and pitch.Results show that this method corresponds with the cognitive processes of human vision.It is good at helping the blind to obtain the important information and reducing the difficulty of training and learning.Moreover
the mapped electronic music is pleasing to ear and enjoyable.
