Probability Representation of Gaze Distribution Measured When Judging Impression Words of Body Parts

Abstract

We investigate how to represent the probability of gaze distributions for indicating that the observers frequently view body parts when they judge impression words for the body parts of the subjects in the person images. In the field of cognitive science, analytical studies have been reported on how observers view person images and judge the impressions of the subjects. However, there was no discussion of how to represent the probability of gaze distributions when judging impressions for the subjects. Our method gives the observers the task of judging impression words related to a formal scene, and measure the gaze locations from the observers. We represent a conditional gaze probability of body parts using the measured gaze locations. We evaluated how the gaze probabilities change between impression words and body parts included in the tasks. We confirmed that there was a tendency of causing differences among impression words because the divergences between the conditional gaze probabilities of the body parts were large.
