A Robust Gaze Tracking Method for Users Wearing Glasses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vision-based gaze trackers that utilize corneal reflections of IR lights are vulnerable to users wearing glasses. IR reflection on eye glasses overlap with pupil region to interfere gaze estimation. This overlap problem should be resolved properly when the moving region of user is relatively large. In this paper, we propose a solution to handle the overlapping problem in gaze tracking for users wearing glasses. One of the two IR sources will be turned off when it becomes a problematic glint on the glasses. We propose a model that calculates gaze point with the remaining single glint. The proposed method was implemented on our state-of-the-art gaze tracker. The tracked results showed that our proposed model with the remaining glint preserved the accuracy of the system.

Gaze Tracking System for User Wearing Glasses
Conventional gaze tracking systems are limited in cases where the user is wearing glasses because the glasses usually produce noise due to reflections caused by the gaze tracker's lights. This makes it difficult to locate the pupil and the specular reflections (SRs) from the cornea of the user's eye. These difficulties increase the likelihood of gaze detection errors because the gaze position i...
متن کاملReal-time 3D Face Reconstruction and Gaze Tracking for Virtual Reality
With the rapid development of virtual reality (VR) technology, VR glasses, a.k.a. Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) are widely available, allowing immersive 3D content to be viewed. A natural need for truly immersive VR is to allow bidirectional communication: the user should be able to interact with the virtual world using facial expressions and eye gaze, in addition to traditional means of interac...
متن کاملImproved video-based eye-gaze detection method
Recently, some video-based eye-gaze detection methods used in eye-slaved support systems for the severely disabled have been studied. In these methods, infrared light was irradiated to an eye, two feature areas (the corneal reflection light and pupil) were detected in the image obtained from a video camera and then the eye-gaze direction was determined by the relative positions between the two....
متن کاملTabletGaze: A Dataset and Baseline Algorithms for Unconstrained Appearance-based Gaze Estimation in Mobile Tablets
We study gaze estimation on tablets; our key design goal is uncalibrated gaze estimation using the front-facing camera during natural use of tablets, where the posture and method of holding the tablet is not constrained. We collected the first large unconstrained gaze dataset of tablet users, labeled Rice TabletGaze dataset. The dataset consists of 51 subjects, each with 4 different postures an...
متن کاملGaze Estimation for Near-Eye Display Based on Fusion of Starburst Algorithm and FERN Natural Features
In future, near-eye display devices will be commonly used by people with or without prescription glasses, with different eye topologies, and under different lighting variations. Gaze tracking is an important task for these near-eye devices. New robust gaze tracking methods should be explored for these sophisticated devices. The proposed method overcomes the problem of adaptability to eye topolo...
