COCO-FreeView

COCO-FreeView is a laboratory-quality dataset of free viewing behavior. It contains the same natural images used in COCO-Search18, but labeled with 822,602 eye fixations from a free-viewing task. 

10 university students participated in the data collection. The experiment procedure was modified from COCO-Search18, with no target being cued, no response being required from the participant, and the viewing time for each image being fixed to 5 seconds.

Resource

👏 We are releasing COCO-FreeView to the public! We took down the testing data in order to set up an online evaluation service, stay tuned!
