Raising the Ceiling: Better Empirical Fixation Densities for Saliency Benchmarking
Susmit Agrawal, Jannis Hollman, Matthias Kümmerer
Empirical fixation densities, spatial distributions estimated from human eye-tracking data, are foundational to saliency benchmarking. They directly shape benchmark conclusions, le…

Object segmentation from common fate: Motion energy processing enables human-like zero-shot generalization to random dot stimuli
Matthias Tangemann, Matthias Kümmerer, Matthias Bethge
Humans excel at detecting and segmenting moving objects according to the Gestalt principle of "common fate". Remarkably, previous works have shown that human perception generalizes…
