The spatio-temporal correlation analysis between visual saliency and eye movements is
presented for the estimation of the mental focus toward videos. We extract spatio-temporal
dynamics patterns of saliency areas from the videos, which we refer to as saliency-dynamics
patterns, and evaluate eye movements based on their correlation with the saliency-
dynamics patterns in view. Experimental results using TV commercials demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed method for the mental-focus estimation.
