TLDR
The strengths and weaknesses of common assessment methods based on diachronic eye-tracking data are surveyed and the use of some methods to benchmark computational models of visual attention is illustrated.
Abstract
In this article, we are interested in the computational modeling of visual attention. We report methods commonly used to assess the performance of these kinds of models. We survey the strengths and weaknesses of common assessment methods based on diachronic eye-tracking data. We then illustrate the use of some methods to benchmark computational models of visual attention.

Saliency and Human Fixations: State-of-the-Art and Study of Comparison Metrics

TL;DR: This paper compares the ranking of 12 state-of-the art saliency models using 12 similarity metrics and shows that some of the metrics are strongly correlated leading to a redundancy in the performance metrics reported in the available benchmarks.

Saliency in VR: How do people explore virtual environments?

TL;DR: This work captures and analyzes gaze and head orientation data of 169 users exploring stereoscopic, static omni-directional panoramas, for a total of 1980 head and gaze trajectories for three different viewing conditions, which leads to several important insights, such as the existence of a particular fixation bias.

A model of saliency-based visual attention for rapid scene analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a visual attention system inspired by the behavior and the neuronal architecture of the early primate visual system is presented, where multiscale image features are combined into a single topographical saliency map.
