Abstract(in English) A model for visual attention based on scale-space theory is proposed by employing results given by neurophysiological experiments and cognitive phenomena of humans on the vision. The major parts of the model are (a) a model of early vision, and (b) a computational model for focus of attention (FOA) . First, it is indicated that the model of early vision can be described as a discretized scale-space, and equations denoting the behavior of early vision are given. Next, the FOA model is constructed based on scale-space theory. Numerical simulations show that (1) the model successively gives attention to the center of each object ; the results are qualitatively consistent with cognitive phenomena of humans, and (2) it estimates appropriate scales for objects.
