MAAD: A Model and Dataset for "Attended Awareness" in Driving by Gopinath, Deepak, Rosman, Guy, Stent, Simon, Terahata, Katsuya, Fletcher, Luke, Argall, Brenna, Leonard, John

“…We define attended awareness to be those parts of a potentially dynamic scene which a person has attended to in recent history and which they are still likely to be physically aware of. Our model takes as input scene information in the form of a video and noisy gaze estimates, and outputs visual saliency, a refined gaze estimate, and an estimate of the person's attended awareness. …”
