چکیده

In this paper, we present a non-intrusive eye tracker which can detect and track a user's eyes in real time as soon as the face appears in the view of the camera without special lighting or any marks on the user's face. We also discuss the problem of gaze monitoring. We employ neural networks to estimate a user's eye gaze using the images of user's both eyes as input to the neural networks. We have collected 4 sets of data from 4 di erent users using the eye tracker and have trained and tested several neural networks. The eye gaze monitoring system has achieved accuracy of between 1.3 and 1.8 degrees with a user dependent setup and of 1.9 degrees for a multi-user setup.

A New Method for Eye Detection in Color Images

The problem of eye detection in face images is very important for a large number of applications ranging from face recognition to gaze tracking. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for eyes detection. First, the face region is extracted from the image by skin-color information. Second, horizontal projection in image is used to approximate region of the eye be obtained . At last, the eye ce...

A Study on Gaze Estimation Using Head and Body Pose Information

Gaze estimation from an image is an important technique for tasks such as driver monitoring and measuring of advertising effectiveness. For this, most existing methods require a high quality image of eyes. However, It is difficult to obtain the eye images when eye occlusion occurs due to sunglasses or face rotation. Another approach approximates head directions to gaze directions. However, the ...

Eye Gaze Tracking for HCI

With a growing number of computer devices around us, and the increasing time we spend for interacting with such devices, we are strongly interested in finding new interaction methods which ease the use of computers or increase interaction efficiency. Eye tracking seems to be a promising technology to achieve this goal. This thesis researches interaction methods based on eye-tracking technology....

Gaze-based Assistive Technologies

The eyes play an important role both in perception and communication. Technical interfaces that make use of their versatility can bring significant improvements to those, who are unable to speak or to handle selection tasks elsewise, e.g. with their hands, feet, noses or tools handled with the mouth. Using the eyes to enter texts into a computer system, which is called gaze-typing, is the most ...
