Which Colors Best Catch Your Eyes: a Subjective Study of Color Saliency
Elisa Drelie Gelasca, D. Tomasic, Touradj Ebrahimi · 2005
To determine Regions of Interest (ROI) in a scene, perceptual saliency of regions has to be measured. When scenes are viewed with the same context and motivation, these ROIs are often highly correlated among different people. As a result, it is possible to develop a computational model of visual attention that can analyze a scene and accurately estimate the location of viewers ’ ROIs. Color saliency is investigated in this paper. In particular, a subjective experiment has been carried out to estimate which hues attract more human attention. The performance of the visual attention model including color saliency are assessed in the context of a segmentation evaluation application. 1
