An eye tracking interface for image search

Abstract: This paper explores the feasibility of using an eye tracker as an image retrieval interface. A database of image similarity values between 1000 Corel images is used in the study. Results from participants performing image search tasks show that eye tracking data can be used to reach target images quicker than by random selection. The effects of the intrinsic difficulty of finding images and the time allowed for successive selections were also investigated.

“…As we look forward, eye tracking is not only useful for analyzing user behavior, as in the work we describe ahead, but also used as an input mechanism and a means of interacting with a program, game, or other technology. Work by Oyekoya and Stentiford (2006) has shown that eye tracking can be valuable input in the online search of images.…”

“…Additional discussion and results can be found in Oyekoya and Stentiford [27][28][29][30]. This meant that the probability of finding the hard-to-find images was significantly increased due to human cognitive abilities as opposed to the indiscriminate selection by the simulated random-gaze strategy using the same similarity information.…”

“…Oyekoya and Stentiford [252][253] conducted experiments in image retrieval that indicated the fact that eye gaze is attracted by regions of interest in images. They found that eye tracking data can be used to retrieve images faster than random selection.…”
