A mathematical model of local and global attention in natural scene viewing
Fig 3
Experimental and simulated scan paths.
Left. An image and a scan path recorded from a human observer. Right. The experimental static saliency map and a scan path generated by the Local and Global Attention Model. The green arrow pointing right represents the second randomly selected fixation location z2. The green arrow pointing left represents the last fixation in the scan path. The blue dots are fixations that were generated from a global attention step and the pink dots are fixations that were generated from a local attention step. The experimental data shows clearly the phenomenon of saccadic momentum which is not captured by the model. This is further discussed in the Results and Discussion.
