Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This report proposes a new method for achieving a precise estimation of human visual attention with considerably less execution time. The main contribution of this report is the incorporation of a particle filter with Markov chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) sampling into a previously proposed stochastic model of saliency-based human visual attention. This enables us to introduce stream processing with such as graphics processing units (GPU) for the acceleration of the estmation. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can estimate human visual attention more than 10 times faster than and as precisely as previous methods.
