Pag cloud: a method to show an image set

Published: 05 December 2011 Publication History

Abstract

The popular adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" refers to the common experience that a picture can tell a story just as well as a large amount of descriptive text. If visual illustration is a really intuitive way to focus, understand and memorize concepts in several domains, which is the best way to show a set of images? In this paper we propose a method to visualize twelve images, and, by means of eye tracking, we compare it with a normal grid of pictures.
