In recent years, active vision has become an intensive area of robotics and vision research. With an active vision system, the control of gaze direction towards a visual target can simplify many of the robot’s interactions with the world. This paper will present a model of robot vision that reflects a biological behaviour. Two channels contribute to the drawing of the model: the first one for the bottom-up mechanism, the second one for the top down mechanism. The latter one involves goal-directed mechanism where the observer’s expectations or intentions influence the allocation of attention. The model adopts a set of parameters which are suitable for top down tuning in order to obtain a visual behaviour according to a specific task.
