Learning Saccadic Eye Movements Using Multiscale Spatial Filters

We describe a framework for learning saccadic eye movements using a photometric representation of target points in natural scenes. The representation takes the form of a high-dimensional vector comprised of the responses of spatial filters at different orientations and scales. We first demonstrate the use of this response vector in the task of locating previously foveated points in a scene and subsequently use this property in a multisaccade strategy to derive an adaptive motor map for delivering accurate saccades.
