A Behavioral Model of Target Acquisition in Realistic Terrain.

Abstract

The research obtained eye fixation data while searching for targets in both realistic and abstract scenes. A Markov model of target acquisition is proposed and preliminary tests of its adequacy are made using the eye fixation data. The model considers the influence of input data, expectation, perceptual processing, and perceived scene information on the target acquisition process and offers considerable promise as a modeling approach.
