The consideration of modelling buttom-up visual attention is given in this paper. Particularly, saliency-based Itti’s model as one of the basic and widely used is analysed here. Advantages and limitations, open questions, and some hypotheses of improvement of this model are shown. Especially, we propose to change WTA network of leakly integrate-and-fire neurons on most modern simple network. We assume that using CMYK or HSV color model will give possibility of allowance of additional visual features.
