What attracts attention when we inspect a scene? Two experiments recorded eye
movements while viewers inspected pictures of natural office scenes in which two objects of …

Salience-map models have been taken to suggest that the locations of eye fixations are
determined by the extent of the low-level discontinuities in an image. While such models …

When inspecting an image for the first time, how does the viewer decide where to look next?
The saliency map hypothesis proposes that viewers initially analyse the image for variations …

Models of low-level saliency predict that when we first look at a photograph our first few eye
movements should be made towards visually conspicuous objects. Two experiments …

How do sequences of eye fixations match each other when viewing a picture during
encoding and again during a recognition test, and to what extent are fixation sequences …

Humans move their eyes while looking at scenes and pictures. Eye movements correlate
with shifts in attention and are thought to be a consequence of optimal resource allocation …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents testing of the hypothesis that fixation locations
during scene viewing are primarily determined by visual salience. Eye movements were …

Most natural scenes are too complex to be perceived instantaneously in their entirety.
Observers therefore have to select parts of them and process these parts sequentially. We …

Previous research showed the existence of systematic tendencies in viewing behavior
during scene exploration. For instance, saccades are known to follow a positively skewed …

Saliency models have been frequently used to predict eye movements made during image
viewing without a specified task (free viewing). Use of a single image set to systematically …
