Abstract:

The eye movement parameters during a visual search for informative features in face images by a person and the identification of changes in these parameters depending on the expertise of this person were experimentally investigated to discover the effect of expertise in visual search required for the development of automated programs for the optical search for a target. The enhancement in the recognition of blurred images at the periphery of the visual field during the learning process is demonstrated for the first time. This process is the reason for the minimization of eye movement and, consequently, the time required for target search occurring with the accumulation of professional experience.
