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

“…The dataset also contains third-party annotations of the subjects' attended awareness based on observations of their scan path. Our results show that our model is able to reasonably estimate attended awareness in a controlled setting, and in the future could potentially be extended to real egocentric driving data to help enable more effective ahead-of-time warnings in safety systems and thereby augment driver performance. …”
