چکیده

This paper discusses the image processing techniques needed to localise the iris outline in images of the eye produced by a novel, portable eye tracker. The tracker allows gaze direction to be measured by supplying simultaneous views of a subject's eye and of the world from a headmounted camera. Finding gaze direction relative to the head requires accurate and robust measurement of the iris outline under a wide range of lighting conditions, in the presence of highlights, and when the iris is in an extreme position. We describe a reliable method to solve this problem, which achieves a gaze direction accuracy of under 2 degrees.

Implementation of EOG-based Gaze Estimation in HMD with Head-tracker

Head-mounted displays (HMDs) are effective devices for creating immersive virtual environments. Intuitive movement field-of view (FOV) is possible in virtual reality (VR) space with a HMD equipped with a head-tracker. However, gaze targets are not accurately detectable by the measurement of head movements alone. An eye-tracker is needed to determine gaze positions; however, such trackers curren...

A Nonobscuring Eye Tracking Solution for Wide Field-of-View Head-mounted Displays

We present a solution for integrating a binocular eye tracker into current state-of-the-art lens-based head-mounted displays (HMDs) without affecting the available field-of-view on the display. Estimating the relative eye gaze of the user opens the door for HMDs to a much wider spectrum of virtual reality applications and games. Further, we present a concept of a low-cost head-mounted display w...

Projection based Head Mounted Display with Eye-Tracking Capabilities

We propose a novel conceptual design for a Head-Mounted Projection Display (HMPD) with Eye-Tracking (ET) capabilities. We present a fully integrated system that is robust, easy to calibrate, inexpensive, and lightweight. The HMD-ET integration is performed from a low-level optical configuration in order to achieve a compact, comfortable, easy-to-use system. The idea behind the full integration ...

EyeRecToo: Open-source Software for Real-time Pervasive Head-mounted Eye Tracking

Head-mounted eye tracking offers remarkable opportunities for research and applications regarding pervasive health monitoring, mental state inference, and human computer interaction in dynamic scenarios. Although a plethora of software for the acquisition of eye-tracking data exists, they often exhibit critical issues when pervasive eye tracking is considered, e.g., closed source, costly eye tr...

What do surgeons see: capturing and synchronizing eye gaze for surgery applications.

Recording eye motions in surgical environments is challenging. This study describes the authors' experiences with performing eye-tracking for improving surgery training, both in the laboratory and in the operating room (OR). Three different eye-trackers were used, each with different capabilities and requirements. For monitoring eye gaze shifts over the room scene in a simulated OR, a head-moun...
