Introduction Scene Perception
• Scene Perception is a visual perception of an environment as viewed by an observer at any given time.

4
Introduction Belief about vision
• Our brains contain detailed, picture-like representation of the scene
Diliara Nasirova | PSYC 579 | March 23, 2011
5
Introduction Phenomena against the belief • Inattentional Blindness:
• The failure to notice the presence of unattended stimuli, even when they are presented within an observer’s field of view
• Change Blindness: • The failure to see changes even
when they are large, anticipated and repeatedly made if they are made during a visual disturbance

Introduction If there is no buffer…
Diliara Nasirova | PSYC 579 | March 23, 2011
1. How is it possible to see change at all? 2. How might human vision operate?

Theories of Scene Perception Coherence theory
• Coherence theory is based on three related hypotheses 1. Volatile proto-objects formed rapidly in the visual field (without attention) 2. Focused attention selects some proto-objects and forms coherence field 3. Release of focused attention (back to proto-objects)

Theories of Scene Perception Coherence theory • Why observers fail to detect changes in "attended" objects?
■ Small number of items can be attended at any time ■ Not all details can be represented in a coherence field ■ Change blindness results
Diliara Nasirova | PSYC 579 | March 23, 2011
Theories of Scene Perception Coherence theory
• Counterintuitive implications: ■ Only a few items can be
represented ■ The representation details is
limited
• Why do we not notice these limitations?

Theories of Scene Perception Virtual Representation
Diliara Nasirova | PSYC 579 | March 23, 2011
• For most tasks, only one object is in play at any time:
19
Theories of Scene Perception Virtual Representation
Diliara Nasirova | PSYC 579 | March 23, 2011
• Idea of virtual representation:
■ Create a coherent, detailed representation only of a few objects needed for the task at hand
■ Details about any object should be available on request
• Provide large savings in computational
resources: memory & processing time
20
Theories of Scene Perception Virtual Representation • For successful use of virtual representation
eye movements and attentional shifts should be made ■ to the appropriate object ■ at the appropriate time.
• But what directs these movements and shifts?

Theories of Scene Perception Triadic Architecture • A possible solution is a triadic architecture with three systems

23
Theories of Scene Perception Triadic Architecture • The representation of a scene
involves the dynamic interaction of three systems.
• A complete representation of the
scene is never constructed - only one coherent object represented at any one time

24
Application to Visual Design Visual Transitions
• It is possible for displays to promote or prevent the conditions that create change blindness.
■ Saccade ■ Eye blinks ■ Occlusion ■ Movie cuts ■ Gradual transitions ■ Movement

25
Application to Visual Design Visual Transitions
Diliara Nasirova | PSYC 579 | Jan 26, 2011
• Design of displays robust to change blindness: ■ Minimizing saccades (important
information close together) ■ Minimizing number of dynamic
events in the background & foreground

Application to Visual Design Visual Transitions • Change Detection in 3D
Parametric Systems: Human-Centered Interfaces for Change Visualization
1. Change blindness 2. On model (A) and
on periphery (B) visualizations
3. Combined views.

Application to Visual Design Attention Coercion • Taking control of attention and
making the observer see (or not see) any given part of the display.
• Can be carried out in different ways:
■ High-level interest

• Taking control of attention and making the observer see (or not see) any given part of the display.
• Can be carried out in different ways: ■ High-level interest ■ Mid-level directives

• Taking control of attention and making the observer see (or not see) any given part of the display.
• Can be carried out in different ways: ■ High-level interest ■ Mid-level directives ■ Low-level salience

Conclusion
Diliara Nasirova | PSYC 579 | March 23, 2011
1. Change blindness is very general phenomenon.
2. Only one coherent object can be attended at a time.
3. The perception of a scene is inherently dynamic.
