Saliency is an attempt to determine which regions of an image
are the most conspicuous. It's a loosely bio-inspired concept -
when processing a new scene a low-level process drives rapid eye
movement (called saccades) as the brain seeks to determine what it
needs the eyes to focus on first. This calculation is performed by
the regions V1-V4 of the primary visual cortex.
