Recognizing fine detail in faces plays an important role in social cognition, identity; and it is key to human interaction. In this work, we present the first quantitative study of the relative importance of face regions to human observers. We c reated a dataset of 960 unique models featuring localized geometry and tex ture distortions relevant to visual computing applications. We then conduc ted an extensive subjective study examining the perceptual saliency of fac ial regions through the lens of distortion visibility. Our study comprises over 18,000 comparisons and indicates non-trivial preferences across dist ortion types and facial areas. Our results provide relevant insights for a lgorithm design, and we demonstrate our data's value in model compression applications.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter \n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Valentin Deschaint re (Adobe Research) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_685&sess=sess149 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
