Saliency maps during a search for paintings

The human fixations and saliency maps produced during a search for paintings. Yellow, green, and blue correspond to the top 10, 20, and 30 percent most salient regions respectively. Note that the horizontal guidance provided by contextual guidance is particularly ill-suited to this image, as the attention of both the human subjects and the appearance model is focused on the vertical strip of painting-like wallpaper paper between the two windows. This figure was selected by identifying images where the Contextual Guidance model and SUN most differed.
