Abstract
The disclosure extends to methods, systems, and apparatuses for automated fixation generation and more particularly relates to generation of synthetic saliency maps. A method for generating saliency information includes receiving a first image and an indication of one or more sub-regions within the first image corresponding to one or more objects of interest. The method includes generating and storing a label image by creating an intermediate image having one or more random points. The random points have a first color in regions corresponding to the sub-regions and a remainder of the intermediate image having a second color. Generating and storing the label image further includes applying a Gaussian blur to the intermediate image.
