Abstract
We believe perceiving and interpreting images (image literacy) by looking at them directly rather than through language, is important. This paper intends to analyze the property of the fixations when a person looks at photographs as a clue to a more effective manner to interpret an images. The analysis of the fixation behaviour was performed with two experiments: first, by using the concept of Depth of Field to measure the fixation points in photographs; and second, by clustering fixation points. In the second experiment, we analyzed the cluster distance, range, time span and quantity through feature vectors and clustering using k-means++. As a result, the emergence of common fixation properties were observed.
