Figure 1. Scenes similar to those typically captured by CCTV. Even in this relatively sparse display of only four static scenes, cognitive and perceptual load is clearly high, and may result in missed incidents or late detection
Figure 2.Sample fixation data shows the position of the eyes for eleven observers at a single point in time. The top panel shows a time at which the between-observer consistency is low. The bottom panel shows a time at which between-observer fixations are highly consistent, indicating an event of significant interest for observers
