Abstract

Identifying Regions of Interest (ROIs) in images has been shown an effective way to enhance the performance of Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Most existing ROI identification methods are based on salience detection, and the identified ROIs may not be the regions that users are really interested in. While manual selection of ROIs can directly reflect users’ interests, it puts extra cognitive overhead to users. To alleviate these limitations, in this paper, we propose a novel eye-tracking based method to detect ROIs for CBIR, in an unobtrusive way. Experimental results have demonstrated that our model performed effectively compared with various state of the art methods.
