چکیده

We use three prevalent scoring methods to test the object-map hypothesis, since validity of this model boils down to fair model comparison with bottom-up saliency models. Please see Appendix B for explanation of state-of-the-art saliency models used here. We report results using the previously proposed Normalized Scanpath Saliency (NSS) (Peters et al., 2005; Parkhurst et al., 2002), Correlation Coefficient (CC), and Shuffled AUC score (AUC Type-3) (Parkhurst & Niebur, 2003; Tatler, 2007). Our emphasis is more on the Shuffled AUC score as it is the only score that tackles center-bias at the data level. Please see Appendix C for detailed explanation of scoring methods.

Objects do not predict fixations better than early saliency: a re-analysis of Einhauser et al.'s data.

Einhäuser, Spain, and Perona (2008) explored an alternative hypothesis to saliency maps (i.e., spatial image outliers) and claimed that "objects predict fixations better than early saliency." To test their hypothesis, they measured eye movements of human observers while they inspected 93 photographs of common natural scenes (Uncommon Places dataset by Shore, Tillman, & Schmidt-Wulen 2004; Suppl...

Objects predict fixations better than early saliency.

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 for high-level tasks such as visual recognition. Models of attention, such as "saliency maps," are often built on the assumption that "early" features (color, contrast, orientation, motion, and so forth) drive attention ...

Objects and saliency: reply to Borji et al.

(a) The authors’ reanalysis of our data with respect to the ITTI* model yields very similar results numerically, so there is no disagreement on the results per se. (b) We acknowledge that more recent ‘‘early saliency’’ models outperform our object-based approach. It is, however, no surprise that our naı̈ve object model cannot live up to this comparison. For example, it is well established that f...

Running head: SUN SUN: Top-down saliency using natural statistics

When people try to find particular objects in natural scenes they make extensive use of knowledge about how and where objects tend to appear in a scene. Although many forms of such “top-down” knowledge have been incorporated into saliency map models of visual search, surprisingly, the role of object appearance has been infrequently investigated. Here we present an appearance based saliency mode...

Visual saliency and semantic incongruency influence eye movements when inspecting pictures.

Models of low-level saliency predict that when we first look at a photograph our first few eye movements should be made towards visually conspicuous objects. Two experiments investigated this prediction by recording eye fixations while viewers inspected pictures of room interiors that contained objects with known saliency characteristics. Highly salient objects did attract fixations earlier tha...
