A new metric for definition of gaze area from the geometrical structures of picture composition
M. Yamazaki, M. Kameda · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2006
When a human observes any picture, the gaze area which is changed in time by time is defined as dynamic gaze flow. The dynamic gaze flow is used in picture cording, image evaluation and computer vision effectively. On the other hand, the technique with composition is known well the photograph and fine arts. Composition is effective to attract the human attention in some specific area. We propose a new method to analyze scanpath of the dynamic gaze flow based on image analysis. Our proposed method analyzes the composition of input image as the primary factor of gazing, and the obtained dynamic gaze flow is evaluated by comparing with the scanpath of observers which is measured with eye-mark recorder.
