Gaze-contingent enhancements for a visual search and rescue task

Abstract

An important task in many fields is the human visual inspection of an image. Those fields include quality control, medical diagnosis, surveillance and Wilderness Search and Rescue (WiSAR) [Goodrich et al. 2008]. The latter activity, triggered by an individual becoming lost, is the context within which this work proposes and evaluates a new approach to the task of human visual inspection.
