Saliency prediction in 360° architectural scenes: Performance and impact of daylight variations

Marilyne Andersen, Sabine Süsstrunk, Caroline Karmann, Kynthia Chamilothori, Seungryong Kim, Bahar Aydemir

Saliency models are image-based prediction models that estimate human visual attention. Such models, when applied to architectural spaces, could pave the way for design decisions where visual attention is taken into account. In this study, we tested the pe ...

Modeling Object Dissimilarity for Deep Saliency Prediction

Sabine Süsstrunk, Mathieu Salzmann, Tong Zhang, Seungryong Kim, Deblina Bhattacharjee, Bahar Aydemir

Saliency prediction has made great strides over the past two decades, with current techniques modeling low-level information, such as color, intensity and size contrasts, and high-level ones, such as attention and gaze direction for entire objects. Despite ...

Virtual reality to assess visual attraction and perceived interest to daylit scene variations

Marilyne Andersen, Caroline Karmann, Kynthia Chamilothori, Bahar Aydemir

Façades and light pattern composition have been shown to influence the spatial experience and physiological responses of humans [1,2]. The present study examines the effect of sunlight penetration and window size on fixations to the floor of the scene, and ...
