  • Archive of attention model matlab code (286KB, zip archive).
  • matlabPyrTools. The attention model makes use of a couple of functions from Eero Simoncelli's matlabPyrTools. These functions are distributed in the above zip archive for those architectures that we had at the time the code was developed. For other architectures (e.g., 64 bit PC's) you will have to download matlabPyrTools and recompile the mex functions. You will know if you need to do this if you get errors referring to undefined or missing functions such as 'rconv2' or 'upConv'.
