Web pages are typically decorated with different kinds of visual elements that help sighted people complete their tasks. Unfortunately, this is not the case for people accessing web pages in constraint environments such as visually disabled or small screen device users. In our previous work, we show that tracking the eye movements of sighted users provide good understanding of how people use these visual elements. We also show that people's experience in constraint environments can be improved by reengineering web pages by using these visual elements. However, in order to reengineer web pages based on eyetracking, we first need to aggregate, analyse and understand how a group of people's eyetracking data can be combined to create a common scanpath (namely, eye movement sequence) in terms of visual elements. This paper presents an algorithm that aims to achieve this. This algorithm was developed iteratively and experimentally evaluated with an eyetracking study. This study shows that the proposed algorithm is able to identify patterns in eyetracking scanpaths and it is fairly scalable. This study also shows that this algorithm can be improved by considering different techniques for pre-processing the data, by addressing the drawbacks of using the hierarchical structure and by taking into account the underlying cognitive processes.

PATTERNS IN EYETRACKING SCANPATHS AND THE AFFECTING FACTORS Eraslan, Sukru; Yesilada, Yeliz (2015-11-01) Web pages are typically decorated with different kinds of visual elements that help sighted people complete their tasks. Unfortunately, people accessing web pages in constrained environments, such as visually disabled and small screen device users, cannot benefit from them. In our previous work, we show that tracking the eye movements of sighted users provide good understanding of how people use these visual elements. We also show that reengineering web pages by using these visual elements can improve peopl...
Visual similarity for hdr images with applications to tone mapping Aydınlılar, Merve; Akyüz, Ahmet Oğuz; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-2-15) Assessing visual similarity between images is important for many computer vision applications. So far, investigations on visual similarity have been confined to low dynamic range images. However, recently, there is a growing interest to high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. In this thesis, the aim is to shed light on visual image similarity for HDR images by following an experimental approach. To this end, a user experiment is conducted through a novel web-based interface, in which the participants assess the p...
Automatic identification and role detection of visual elements in web pages Akpınar, Mehmet Elgin; Karagöz, Pınar; Yeşilada, Yeliz; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) Web pages typically include many visual elements to support interaction with the user. However, if visual elements do not comply with web accessibility guidelines, they become inaccessible in alternative presentations, such as audio. This study presents an automatic role detection approach to identify visual elements in web pages and their roles. The system architecture has three major components: automatic identification of visual elements in web pages; automatic generation of heuristic rules from the know...
Discovering Visual Elements of Web Pages and Their Roles: Users' Perception Akpinar, M. Elgin; Yesilada, Yeliz (2017-11-01) Web pages typically include many visual elements such as header and footer to support interaction with the user. However, if web pages do not comply with web accessibility guidelines, and these visual elements are not explicitly encoded in the underlying source code, they become inaccessible in alternative presentations, such as audio. This article presents an automatic role detection approach to identify visual elements in web pages and their roles. The system architecture has three major components: autom...
A conceptual framework for 3d urban disaster risk visualization in geo-spatial environment Kemeç, Serkan; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2011) Visualization could be defined as the graphical presentation of information, in which the main aim is to improve the user’s perception. In all phases of the disaster management, decision makers come across huge data sets with spatio-temporal content. It is hard to deal with these sets in order to find answers to the main question of “How can we decrease the losses due to disasters?”, which is at the core of the disaster management concept. To furnish this aim, disaster risk information has to be transparent...
