Abstract:
A method is provided for determining a point of gaze directed at a graphical display. The method comprises: a) acquiring an image of at least one eye of a user containing at least one gaze aspect and at least one reference aspect; b) extracting image aspects from the image, the image aspects comprising a set of reference aspects and a set of gaze aspects corresponding to the image; c) extracting a set of features for each of said image aspects; d) computing a set of feature vectors between said set of gaze aspects and said set of reference aspects; e) computing a point of gaze for each of said set of feature vectors, using a predefined mathematical relationship; and f) using a predefined rule to combine the computed points of gaze into a final point of gaze on the graphical display.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for calibrating an eye gaze tracking system. The method comprises obtaining gaze data; obtaining at least one key point corresponding to a portion of media content being displayed; linking the gaze data to the at least one key point; and generating one or more calibration parameters by comparing gaze data with associated ones of the at least one key point.
Abstract:
Methods for determining a point-of-gaze (POG) of a user in three dimensions are disclosed. In particular embodiments, the methods involve: presenting a three-dimensional scene to both eyes of the user; capturing image data including both eyes of the user; estimating first and second line-of-sight (LOS) vectors in a three-dimensional coordinate system for the user's first and second eyes based on the image data; and determining the POG in the three-dimensional coordinate system using the first and second LOS vectors.
