Visual Attention Point Search System on The Presentation Image

Abstract

We developed a simple system to estimate visual attention by measuring a mouse's activities. The display image is composed of a central and a peripheral visual field image. These images were produced based on human characteristics of vision. The peripheral visual field image was made using a Gauss filter. A small circular window was made on the peripheral visual field image, and the image observed from this small window was at the center of the visual field. The movement of this small window was synchronized with the mouse's activities. We analyzed visual attention using three images to 64 subjects with this system and confirmed its effectiveness.
