Individual and Common Fixations
Percentage of fixations that were fixated by a specific number of participants.
• Cognition?
• Visual salience?
3
Reasons for the Choice of Fixations
4
Simulated Fixations based on Salience
5
Visual Salience
6
Timedepended Input
Any change of the fixation alters the visual input
7
Fixation probabilty of image points based on salience
• Visual salience of the location of a fixation
• Distance to the next salience maximum
8
