Understanding low-and high-level contributions to fixation prediction

M Kummerer, TSA Wallis, LA Gatys… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Understanding where people look in images is an important problem in computer vision.
Despite significant research, it remains unclear to what extent human fixations can be predicted …

DeepGaze II: Reading fixations from deep features trained on object recognition

M Kümmerer, TSA Wallis, M Bethge - arXiv preprint arXiv:1610.01563, 2016 - arxiv.org
Here we present DeepGaze II, a model that predicts where people look in images. The
model uses the features from the VGG-19 deep neural network trained to identify objects in …

Using fuzzy signal detection theory to determine why experienced and trained drivers respond faster than novices in a hazard perception test

TSA Wallis, MS Horswill - Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2007 - Elsevier
Drivers’ hazard perception ability, as measured in video-based simulations, correlates with
crash involvement, improves with experience and can be trained. We propose two alternative …

Information-theoretic model comparison unifies saliency metrics

M Kümmerer, TSA Wallis… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Learning the properties of an image associated with human gaze placement is important
both for understanding how biological systems explore the environment and for computer …

Saliency benchmarking made easy: Separating models, maps and metrics

M Kummerer, TSA Wallis… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Dozens of new models on fixation prediction are published every year and compared on open
benchmarks such as MIT300 and LSUN. However, progress in the field can be difficult to …

[HTML][HTML] Five points to check when comparing visual perception in humans and machines

…, J Borowski, K Stosio, W Brendel, TSA Wallis… - Journal of …, 2021 - jov.arvojournals.org
With the rise of machines to human-level performance in complex recognition tasks, a
growing amount of work is directed toward comparing information processing in humans and …

[HTML][HTML] DeepGaze III: Modeling free-viewing human scanpaths with deep learning

M Kümmerer, M Bethge, TSA Wallis - Journal of Vision, 2022 - iovs.arvojournals.org
Humans typically move their eyes in “scanpaths” of fixations linked by saccades. Here we
present DeepGaze III, a new model that predicts the spatial location of consecutive fixations in …

[HTML][HTML] A parametric texture model based on deep convolutional features closely matches texture appearance for humans

TSA Wallis, CM Funke, AS Ecker, LA Gatys… - Journal of …, 2017 - jov.arvojournals.org
Our visual environment is full of texture—“stuff” like cloth, bark, or gravel as distinct from “things”
like dresses, trees, or paths—and humans are adept at perceiving subtle variations in …

Exemplary natural images explain CNN activations better than state-of-the-art feature visualization

…, J Schepers, R Geirhos, TSA Wallis… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
Feature visualizations such as synthetic maximally activating images are a widely used
explanation method to better understand the information processing of convolutional neural …

Image content is more important than Bouma's Law for scene metamers

TSA Wallis, CM Funke, AS Ecker, LA Gatys… - ELife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.42512.001 We subjectively perceive our visual field with high fidelity, yet
peripheral distortions can go unnoticed and peripheral objects can be difficult to identify (…
