FoAViS: Analyzing Learned Fixation Strategies in a Foveated Active Vision System

FoAViS is a foveated active vision system that samples visual input using a log‑polar foveation and stores information in a 2D spatial memory. The system’s fixation policy is trained concurrently with tasks such as classification and semantic segmentation, allowing the same memory to be read out globally or densely without architectural changes. Learned fixation policies outperform non‑learned heuristics, improving task performance and producing scanpaths that resemble human gaze behavior.

OptiModNet: A UNet-Transformer Hybrid with Grouped-Query and Channel Attention for Optic Disc and Cup Segmentation

OptiModNet is a lightweight UNet‑Transformer hybrid designed for optic disc and cup segmentation. It incorporates grouped‑query and channel attention across multiple stages, along with an Aggregated Pyramid Loss to improve gradient flow and structural consistency. Evaluated on the REFUGE2 dataset, it surpasses existing methods by over 2.5 % while using only 3.73 GFLOPs and 1.93 M parameters.
