Robust Eye Gaze Estimation

چکیده
Eye gaze detection under challenging lighting conditions is a non-trivial task. Pixel intensity and the shades around the eye region may change depending on the time of day, location, or due to artificial lighting. This paper introduces a lighting-adaptive solution for robust eye gaze detection. First, we propose a binarization and cropping technique to limit our region of interest. Then we develop a gradient-based method for eye-pupil detection; and finally, we introduce an adaptive eye-corner detection technique that altogether lead to robust eye gaze estimation. Experimental results show the outperformance of the proposed method compared with related techniques.

متن کاملRobust Gaze Estimation via Normalized Iris Center-Eye Corner Vector
Gaze estimation plays an important role in many practical scenarios such as human robot interaction. Although high accurate gaze estimation can be obtained in constrained settings with additional IR sources or depth sensors, single web-cam based gaze estimation still remains challenging. The purpose of this study is to improve the robustness of pupil center-eye corner(PC-EC) vector based gaze e...
متن کاملHybrid model and appearance based eye tracking with kinect
Existing gaze estimation methods rely mainly on 3D eye model or 2D eye appearance. While both methods have validated their effectiveness in various fields and applications, they are still limited in practice, such as portable and non-intrusive system and robust eye gaze tracking in different environments. To this end, we investigate on combining eye model with eye appearance to perform gaze est...

We propose a fast and robust method to estimate the 3D gaze position based on the eye vergence information extracted from eye-tracking data. This method is specially designed for Point-of-Regard (PoR) estimation in non-virtual environments with the aim to make it applicable to the study of human visual attention deployment in natural scenarios. Our approach starts with a calibration step at dif...

Mobile gaze-based interaction with multiple displays may occur from arbitrary positions and orientations. However, maintaining high gaze estimation accuracy still represents a significant challenge. To address this, we present GazeProjector, a system that combines accurate point-of-gaze estimation with natural feature tracking on displays to determine the mobile eye tracker’s position relative ...
