GAZE DIRECTION IDENTIFICATION USING A 3D MODEL OF EYE (original) (raw)
2020, Journal of Software Engineering & Intelligent Systems
The idea of using eye movement tracking to facilitate navigation and control has provided new avenues of development in the field of computer vision technology. Nonetheless, the rapidity of eyeball movement requires more efficient methods of tracking them than are currently in use. In an extension to previous work, we have thus developed an effective method to track the multi directionality of an eyeball, using an extensive 3D-eyeball model, by means of utilising the corresponding features of the eye (its corners and pupil) to accurately measure the position of the eyeball without using specified calibration. Experimental results show that the approach achieves successful eyeball position measurement with lower error rates than have been obtained with other methods.

3D Gaze Estimation from 2D Pupil Positions on Monocular Head-Mounted Eye Trackers
3D gaze information is important for scene-centric attention analysis, but accurate estimation and analysis of 3D gaze in real-world environments remains challenging. We present a novel 3D gaze estimation method for monocular head-mounted eye trackers. In contrast to previous work, our method does not aim to infer 3D eyeball poses, but directly maps 2D pupil positions to 3D gaze directions in scene camera coordinate space. We first provide a detailed discussion of the 3D gaze estimation task and summarize different methods, including our own. We then evaluate the performance of different 3D gaze estimation approaches using both simulated and real data. Through experimental validation, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in reducing parallax error, and we identify research challenges for the design of 3D calibration procedures.
TRACKING EYES FOR GAZE TRACKING SYSTEMS
Eye tracking provides results on when, where and for how long a person looks at a particular stimulus. Detecting the face and tracking the eyes, allows getting valuable information to be captured and used in a wide range of applications. Eye location can be tracked using commercial trackers, but additional constraints and expensive hardware make these existing solutions unattractive and impossible to use on standard (visible wavelength), images of eyes with low-resolution. Our aim of the project is to detect the Iris Center with registered database and propose a system that makes the computer screen scroll as per eye gaze. Accuracy of the IC (iris center) localization is measured using Gaze tracking systems.
Evaluation of accurate eye corner detection methods for gaze estimation
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2014
Accurate detection of iris center and eye corners appears to be a promising approach for low cost gaze estimation. In this paper we propose novel eye inner corner detection methods. Appearance and feature based segmentation approaches are suggested. All these methods are exhaustively tested on a realistic dataset containing images of subjects gazing at different points on a screen. We have demonstrated that a method based on a neural network presents the best performance even in light changing scenarios. In addition to this method, algorithms based on AAM and Harris corner detector present better accuracies than recent high performance face points tracking methods such as Intraface.
