Predicting Eye Fixations Under Distortion Using Bayesian Observers
Visual attention is very an essential factor that affects how human perceives visual signals. This report investigates how distortions in an image could distract human's visual attention using Bayesian visual search models, specifically, Maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) \cite{findlay1982global}\cite{eckstein2001quantifying} and Entropy Limit Minimization (ELM) \cite{najemnik2009simple}, which predict eye fixation movements based on a Bayesian probabilistic framework. Experiments on modified MAP and ELM models on JPEG-compressed images containing blocking or ringing artifacts were conducted and we observed that compression artifacts can affect visual attention. We hope this work sheds light on the interactions between visual attention and perceptual quality.

Reconciling saliency and object center-bias hypotheses in explaining free-viewing fixations
Predicting where people look in natural scenes has attracted a lot of interest in computer vision and computational neuroscience over the past two decades. Two seemingly contrasting categories of cues have been proposed …
ObjectSupersaliency: A Novel Pipeline for Predicting Smooth Pursuit-Based Attention Improves Generalizability of Video Saliency
Predicting attention is a popular topic at the intersection of human and computer vision. However, even though most of the available video saliency data sets and models claim to target human observers' fixations, they fa…

Visual attention plays a critical role when our visual system executes active visual tasks by interacting with the physical scene. However, how to encode the visual object relationship in the psychological world of our b…
Age ClassificationPredicting human gaze using low-level saliency combined with face detection
Under natural viewing conditions, human observers shift their gaze to allocate processing resources to subsets of the visual input. Many computational models have aimed at predicting such voluntary attentional shifts. Al…
