Visual attention mechanism is introduced into the traditional road disaster monitoring and early warning system. In this system, the disaster region is the focus of attention (FOA), which happens to be the object needed to process. Ittis algorithm [1]was used to extract the saliency map, then quickly located the regions which may contain disaster according to saliency. The recognition and early warning of disaster can be completed, quickly. This method was tested snowstorms and rolling stones are simulated, and gave the corresponding experimental results. Experiment results show the correctness and efficiency of introducing visual attention mechanism into road disaster monitor and early warning system. It is of great significance and practical value for reducing the computation and improving real-time performance of the total system.
