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 …

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 …

Eye tracking has become the de facto standard measure of visual attention in tasks that
range from free viewing to complex daily activities. In particular, saliency models are often …

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 …

This paper presents the results of two psychophysical experiments and an associated
computational analysis designed to quantify the relationship between visual salience and …

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 …

In natural vision both stimulus features and cognitive/affective factors influence an observer's
attention. However, the relationship between stimulus-driven (bottom-up) and …

We propose a definition of saliency by considering what the visual system is trying to
optimize when directing attention. The resulting model is a Bayesian framework from which …

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 …

Two contrasting views of visual attention in scenes are the visual salience and the cognitive
relevance hypotheses. They fundamentally differ in their conceptualization of the …
