| Abstract: | Described herein are various technologies pertaining to analysis of eye
tracking data. A head and/or eyes of an observer who is viewing a visual
stimulus is monitored, and eye tracking data that is representative of
the path of the eyes of the observer over time (a scanpath) is generated.
The eye tracking data is time-series data that defines the location of
the focal point, or other measurable characteristics, of the eyes of the
observer on the visual stimulus over time. A feature vector is
constructed based upon the eye tracking data, where the feature vector is
representative of the eye tracking data, and is thus representative of
the scanpath. The feature vector is compared with other feature vectors
to identify scanpaths that correspond to the scanpath represented by the
feature vector. |
