Quantitative Evaluation of Eye Movements as Judged by Sight-Line Displacements: Comparison of Eye-Movement Patterns during 525-Line and HDTV Viewing, and Evaluation of Moving Images

Mitsuho Yamada, Tadahiko Fukuda

An eye-movement analyzer, the Vision Analyzer, has been developed for the objective study and evaluation of various psychological effects caused by diverse television images, as well as the experimental results obtained with the use of this device. Analysis of the HDTV image proves that the effects of HDTV's fine-structured, wide-screen images are advantageously reflected by the actual sight-line displacements of the eye. The other analysis of the moving image shows that the sight line can accurately follow the image only during approximately 30% of all cases at most, under the condition that the image is moving at an angular speed of no more than approximately 5°/sec.
