Description
Summary:This paper predicts that gaze and fractal dimension of images may offer some of measurability to when humans look at still or moving images expanding before one's eyes such as pictures or scenery, whether humans are subconsciously regarding an image or vaguely looking at the image overall, and whether there is measurability. Several paintings were used to investigate this prediction, in which the gaze location and gaze stopping time of subjects were measured using an eye tracker camera. The relationship between gaze location and fractal dimension was also investigated. The analysis showed that fractal dimension was higher for those areas where gaze was concentrated than for other areas. Fractal dimension calculations were analyzed by both the planar method and the three-dimensional method, and the same tendency was observed for each method.
