Saliency map models account for a small but significant amount of the variance in where
people fixate, but evaluating these models with natural stimuli has led to mixed results. In the …

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 …

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 …

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

What distinguishes the locations that we fixate from those that we do not? To answer this
question we recorded eye movements while observers viewed natural scenes, and recorded …

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 …

We assessed the role of saliency in driving observers to fixate the eyes in social scenes.
Saliency maps (Itti & Koch, 2000) were computed for the scenes from three previous studies …

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 …

We investigated the contribution of low-level saliency to human eye movements in complex
dynamic scenes. Eye movements were recorded while naive observers viewed a …

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 …
