Comparison of Visual Saliency for Dynamic Point Clouds: Task-free vs. Task-dependent

Abstract

This paper presents a Task-Free eye-tracking dataset for Dynamic Point Clouds (TF-DPC) aimed at investigating visual attention. The dataset is composed of eye gaze and head movements collected from 24 participants observing 19 scanned dynamic point clouds in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment with 6 degrees of freedom. We compare the visual saliency maps generated from this dataset with those from a prior task-dependent experiment (focused on quality assessment) to explore how high-level tasks influence human visual attention. To measure the similarity between these visual saliency maps, we apply the well-known Pearson correlation coefficient and an adapted version of the Earth Mover's Distance metric, which takes into account both spatial information and the degrees of saliency. Our experimental results provide both qualitative and quantitative insights, revealing significant differences in visual attention due to task influence. This work enhances our understanding of the visual attention for dynamic point cloud (specifically human figures) in VR from gaze and human movement trajectories, and highlights the impact of task-dependent factors, offering valuable guidance for advancing visual saliency models and improving VR perception.
