Abstract

Information hidden in the eye movement signal can be a valuable source of knowledge about a human mind. This information is commonly used in multiple fields of interests like psychology, medicine, business, advertising, or even software developing. The proper analysis of the eye movement signal requires its elements to be extracted. The most important ones are fixations—moments when eyes are almost stable and the brain is acquiring information about the scene. There were several algorithms, aiming at detecting fixations, developed. The studies presented in this paper focused one of the most common dispersion-based algorithms—I-DT one. The various ways of evaluating its results were analyzed and compared. Some extensions in this algorithm were made as well.
