چکیده

The movement of a persons eyes is an interesting factor to study in different research areas where attention is important, for example driving. In 2004 the Swedish national road and transport research institute (VTI) introduced Simulator III – their third generation of driving simulators. Inside Simulator III a camera based eye tracking system is installed that records the eye movements of the driver. To be useful, the raw data from the eye tracking system needs to be analyzed and concentrated into a number of measures relevant for the research at VTI. This thesis presents methods to analyze the data from the eye tracker and transform it into something more useful. A world coordinate system is setup to connect the eye tracking system with the real world in a consistent way. A set of measures is collected, mainly from ISO and SAE standards, to be used as output from the analysis. Finally an application is developed for performing the analysis. The application reads the data from the eye tracker and the simulator, analyzes the data, and outputs a set of eye movement measures usable for the researchers at VTI.

Hybrid EEG—Eye Tracker: Automatic Identification and Removal of Eye Movement and Blink Artifacts from Electroencephalographic Signal

Contamination of eye movement and blink artifacts in Electroencephalogram (EEG) recording makes the analysis of EEG data more difficult and could result in mislead findings. Efficient removal of these artifacts from EEG data is an essential step in improving classification accuracy to develop the brain-computer interface (BCI). In this paper, we proposed an automatic framework based on independ...

Automatic annotation of face velocity and acceleration in Anvil

We describe an automatic face tracker plugin for the ANVIL annotation tool. The face tracker produces data for velocity and for acceleration in two dimensions. We compare the annotations generated by the face tracking algorithm with independently made manual annotations for head movements. The annotations are a useful supplement to manual annotations and may help human annotators to quickly and...

Breakthrough Technologies Rosette Tracker: An Open Source Image Analysis Tool for Automatic Quantification of Genotype Effects1[C][W]

Image analysis of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) rosettes is an important nondestructive method for studying plant growth. Some work on automatic rosette measurement using image analysis has been proposed in the past but is generally restricted to be used only in combination with specific high-throughput monitoring systems. We introduce Rosette Tracker, a new open source image analysis tool...

Designing a Solar Tracker in the Form of Smart Light Curtain

One of the methods for increasing the gain in the photovoltaic systems is using the solar tracker system which during the whole of day, align the solar panels in the proper position with respect to the sun position. In this study, a solar tracker in the form of smart light curtain was designed and prepared. This simple and smart tracker detects the direction of the sun radiation by using three ...

What Is Poor Man’s Eye Tracking Good For?

In this paper, we describe a new methodology for tracking a user’s areas of interest on a computer screen. In contrast to costand analysis-intense eye-tracking studies, our approach operates on a software-only basis that requires no additional hardware. In an exploratory study, we compared our software-based tracker with hardware eye trackers with respect to the types of recorded data. Interest...
