Estimation of local orientation in images may be posed as the problem of finding the
minimum gray-level variance axis in a local neighborhood. In bivariate images, the solution …

Since visual attention-based computer vision applications have gained popularity, ever
more complex, biologically inspired models seem to be needed to predict salient locations …

Vasarely's 'nested-squares' illusion shows that 90° corners can be more salient perceptually
than straight edges. On the basis of this illusion we have developed a novel visual illusion …

We deal with the analysis of eye movements made on natural movies in free-viewing
conditions. Saccades are detected and used to label two classes of movie patches as …

Larry Stark has emphasised that what we visually perceive is very much determined by the
scanpath, ie the pattern of eye movements. Inspired by his view, we have studied the …

We present a model for predicting eye movements of an observer viewing dynamic scenes.
Supervised-learning techniques are used to tune the model for a particular observer. The …

This paper presents a very simple feature-based nose detector in combined range and
amplitude data obtained by a 3D time-of-flight camera. The robust localization of image …

We analyze the predictability of eye movements of observers viewing dynamic scenes. We
first assess the effectiveness of model-based prediction. The model is divided into …

We here study the predictability of eye movements when viewing high-resolution natural
videos. We use three recently published gaze data sets that contain a wide range of footage …

Interdisciplinary research in human vision has greatly contributed to the current state-of-the-
art in computer vision and machine learning starting with low-level topics such as image …
