Abstract

Using human fixation behavior, we can interfere regions that require to be processed at high resolution and where stronger compression can be favored. Analyzing the visual scan path solely based on a predefined set of regions of interest (ROIs) limits the exploration room of the analysis. Insights can only be gained for those regions that the data analyst considered worthy of labeling. Furthermore, visual exploration is naturally time-dependent: A short initial overview phase may be followed by an in-depth analysis of regions that attracted the most attention. Therefore, the shape and size of regions of interest may change over time. Automatic ROI generation can help in automatically reshaping the ROIs to the data of a time slice. We developed three novel methods for automatic ROI generation and show their applicability to different eye tracking data sets. The methods are publicly available as part of the EyeTrace software at http://www.ti.uni-tuebingen.de/Eyetrace.175L0.
