Abstract: A method and system for detecting, segmenting, and extracting salient regions in documents by using attention tracking sensors is provided. The method includes: receiving an image that corresponds to a document; receiving, from a sensor, a sequence of measurements that correspond to a human reading of the document; determining, based on the sequence of measurements, at least one region of the document as being a salient document region; demarcating the salient document region in an electronically displayable manner; and outputting a file that includes a displayable version of the document with the demarcated document region. The salient document region may include a title, a section header, and/or a table. The sensor may be an eye-tracking sensor that detects a sequence of eye-gaze positions on the document as a function of time.
