چکیده

Most eye trackers work well for open eyes. However, blinking is a physiological necessity for humans. Moreover, for applications such as facial expression analysis and driver awareness systems, we need to do more than tracking the locations of the person’s eyes but obtain their detailed description. We need to recover the state of the eyes (i.e. whether they are open or closed), and the parameters of an eye model (e.g. the location and radius of the iris, and the corners and height of the eye opening). In this paper, we develop a dual-state model based system of tracking eye features that uses convergent tracking techniques and show how it can be used to detect whether the eyes are open or closed, and to recover the parameters of the eye model. Processing speed on a Pentium II 400MHZ PC is approximately 3 frames/second. In experimental tests on 500 image sequences from child and adult subjects with varying colors of skin and eye, accurate tracking results are obtained in 98% of image sequences.

Eye Tracking as Interface for the Design of Generative Visual Forms and Patterns

Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI 2013 Workshop on ”Gaze Interaction in the Post-WIMP World”, April 27, 2013, Paris, France. Abstract This research investigates the potential of eye tracking as an interface to parameter search in visual design. We outline our experimental framework where a user’s gaze acts as guiding feedback mechanism in an exploration of the state space of paramet...

Application of eye tracking technology for screening and rehabilitation of children with special needs.

Eye tracking is a technology for measuring eye movements when looking at a point. The length of time to look at a particular situation, the sequence of observations, as well as points of attention are processed in the process of eye tracking and eye movements are identified by topics such as fixation, saccade, etc. Information about how the eyes move at a special moment has many potential appli...

A novel eye-tracking method to assess attention allocation in individuals with and without aphasia using a dual-task paradigm.

UNLABELLED Numerous authors report that people with aphasia have greater difficulty allocating attention than people without neurological disorders. Studying how attention deficits contribute to language deficits is important. However, existing methods for indexing attention allocation in people with aphasia pose serious methodological challenges. Eye-tracking methods have great potential to ad...

Mobile Dual Eye-Tracking Methods: Challenges and Opportunities

Mobile dual eye-tracking approaches allow researchers to develop more nuanced and ecologically valid accounts of how interlocutors coordinate their gaze during natural conversation. This approach can be particularly fruitful for studying multimodal reference by allowing researchers to incorporate the effects of physical movement and spatial positioning of speakers and listeners into their model...
