We compare the visual behaviour of experts with that of less-skilled geologists. We are also interested in image regions that attract the gaze of the geologists. The best-fitting image attribute in our case is the texture feature. This attribute codes both the energy and the geometry of the structure. Our results show that the ocular behaviour of experts is different from that of less-skilled geologists.
Experts have longer fixations and are less attracted by the energy of the seismic region.
These results confirm that texture analysis represents a good first visual exploration for seismic images.
