Calibration-Free Eye Gaze Direction Detection with Gaussian Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a solution for eye gaze detection from a wireless head mounted camera designed for children aged between 6 months and 18 months. Due to the constraints of working with very young children, the system does not seek to be as accurate as other state-of-the-art eye trackers, however it requires no calibration process from the wearer. Gaussian Process Regression and Support Vector Machines are used to analyse the raw pixel data from the video input and return an estimate of the child’s gaze direction. A confidence map is used to determine the accuracy the system can expect for each coordinate on the image. The best accuracy so far obtained by the system is 2.34◦ on adult subjects, tests with children remain to be

A Hough Based Eye Direction Detection Algorithm without On-site Calibration
This paper proposes an algorithm to estimate gaze direction without on-site calibration even when the position of the head relative to the camera moves. We define eye direction as geometrical direction of the eyeball and gaze direction as long fixed looking detection in this paper. In the algorithm to detect the eye direction, a cornea curvature center is detected based on a relation model betw...
متن کاملEstimation of Gaze Detection Accuracy Using the Calibration Information-Based Fuzzy System
Gaze tracking is a camera-vision based technology for identifying the location where a user is looking. In general, a calibration process is applied at the initial stage of most gaze tracking systems. This process is necessary to calibrate for the differences in the eyeballs and cornea size of the user, as well as the angle kappa, and to find the relationship between the user's eye and screen c...
متن کاملGaussian processes as an alternative to polynomial gaze estimation functions
Interpolation-based methods are widely used for gaze estimation due to their simplicity. In particular, feature-based methods that map the image eye features to gaze, are very popular. The most spread regression function used in this kind of method is the polynomial regression. In this paper, we present an alternative regression function to estimate gaze: the Gaussian regression. We show how th...
متن کاملDeep eye fixation map learning for calibration-free eye gaze tracking
The existing eye trackers typically require an explicit personal calibration procedure to estimate subject-dependent eye parameters. Despite efforts in simplifying the calibration process, such a calibration process remains unnatural and bothersome, in particular for users of personal and mobile devices. To alleviate this problem, we introduce a technique that can eliminate explicit personal ca...
متن کاملA 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...
