Title: A Saccadic Model for Visual Strategy of Retinography Analysis

Abstract:
The goal of teaching computers how to look at visual stimulus, such as images and videos, can be of great benefit for predicting how humans would look at the same content. The so-called saccadic models may be able of outputting a set of ordinated fixation points on a stimulus. The main goal behind this technique is to automatize processes that would otherwise require real observers for assessing semantic relevance within the stimulus and possibly extracting sensitive information from it. With that in mind, we seek to propose a computational model able to replicate the visual strategy of experts in the ophthalmological field while doing diagnosis of certain eye diseases out of retinographies and extend its behaviour to students and technicians as a means of comparative teaching. For so, eye gaze data should be collected from people of different levels of expertise, since not only the actual fixation point should be considered, but other aspects intrinsic to the biological human visual system, such as the oculomotor biases, previous knowledge, i.e., small tendencies of eye movements present in real observers. We plan to deliver an efficient computational model that would predict expert diagnosis of eye diseases out of retinography analysis.
