A Methodology for Capturing Joint Visual Attention Using Mobile Eye-Trackers
Published on: January 18, 2020
Abstract:
The effect of the earth's atmosphere on the visibility in the nadir direction, as determined by the human eye, is presented. The visibility characteristics can be obtained from the combined eye-atmosphere modulation transfer function. This function is applied to the calculation of visibility thresholds of an area of an albedo different from its surroundings. It is shown that the atmospheric effect of diffusing sharp boundaries between adjacent areas has a significant influence on the visibility threshold. A sensitivity study is carried out to investigate the effects of different atmospheric optical conditions on the visibility thresholds. This model emphasizes the use of a combined eye-atmosphere theory to predict visibility conditions from airplanes.

Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...
