ABSTRACT
Using eye tracking, we study the way viewers look at photos and image based NPR illustrations. Viewers examine the same number of locations in photos and in NPR images with uniformly high or low detail. In contrast, viewers are attracted to areas where detail is locally preserved in meaningfully abstracted images. This accords with the idea that artists carefully manipulate detail to control interest and understanding. It also validates the method of meaningful abstraction used in DeCarlo and Santella [2002]. Results also suggest eye tracking can be a useful tool for evaluation of NPR systems.

A gaze-based study for investigating the perception of visual realism in simulated scenes
Visual realism has been a major objective of computer graphics since the inception of the field. However, the perception of visual realism is not a well-understood process and is usually attributed to a combination of visual cues and image features that ...
Movement bias in visual attention for perceptually-guided selective rendering of animations
SCCG '07: Proceedings of the 23rd Spring Conference on Computer GraphicsThe Human Visual System (HVS) is a key part of the rendering pipeline. The human eye is only capable of sensing image detail in a 2° foveal region, relying on rapid eye movements, or saccades, to jump between points of interest. These points of interest ...
