Design of visual stimuli was inspired by the ones used in\nprevious psychophysical experiments, namely in free-viewing and visual\nsearching tasks, to provide a total of 15 types of stimuli, divided according\nto the task and feature to be analyzed. Our interest is to analyze the\ninfluences of low-level feature contrast between a salient region and the rest\nof distractors, providing fixation localization characteristics and reaction\ntime of landing inside the salient region. Eye-tracking data was collected from\n34 participants during the viewing of a 230 images dataset. Results show that\nsaliency is predominantly and distinctively influenced by: 1. feature type, 2.\nfeature contrast, 3. temporality of fixations, 4. task difficulty and 5. center\nbias. This experimentation proposes a new psychophysical basis for saliency\nmodel evaluation using synthetic images.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1811.06458v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.06458v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"psychophysical-evaluation-of-individual-low","repo_url":"https://github.com/dberga/sig4vam","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
