Abstract: There is provided a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for controlling an eye tracking system (200) to obtain a first image (500) captured under active illumination by at least one infrared, IR, illuminator (112, 113) associated with the eye tracking system (200) and at a current exposure setting, using the image sensor device (110); and, if at least one eye (100, 120) is depicted in the first image (500): define at least one region of interest, ROI, (501, 502, 503, 504) from the first image (500) comprising a group of pixels in the first image (500) representing at least a part of the depicted at least one eye (100, 120); determine a respective intensity value for each of the at least one ROI (501, 502, 503, 504); determine a second exposure setting by adjusting at least one exposure parameter of the image sensor device (110) based on the determined intensity value, or values, for the at least one ROI (501, 502, 503, 504); and set the current exposure setting to the second exposure setting.

Abstract: Techniques for reducing a read out time and power consumption of an image sensor used for eye tracking are described. In an example, a position of an eye element in an active area of a sensor is determined. The eye element can be any of an eye, a pupil of the eye, an iris of the eye, or a glint at the eye. A region of interest (ROI) around the position of the eye is defined. The image sensor reads out pixels confined to the ROI, thereby generating an ROI image that shows the eye element.

Abstract: There is provided a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for controlling the exposure settings of an rolling shutter image sensor device with global reset. This is achieved by obtaining a first image captured by the image sensor device at a current exposure setting that comprises a partial readout parameter representing a number image parts for partial readout by the image sensor device; determining an intensity value of the first image, comparing the intensity value of the first image to a desired intensity value. If the intensity values differ more than an allowed deviation, an updated number of image parts for partial readout is determined based on the current number of image parts and the intensity value of the first image. Thereafter, the current exposure setting is updated by setting the value of the partial readout parameter to the updated number of image parts.

Abstract: There is provided a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for controlling an eye tracking system to optimize eye tracking performance under different lighting conditions, by obtaining a first image captured using a camera associated with the eye tracking system, the first image comprising at least part of an iris and at least part of a pupil of an eye illuminated by an illuminator associated with the eye tracking system at a current power of illumination selected from a set of predetermined power levels; determining a contrast value between an the iris and the pupil in the image; and, if the contrast value deviates less than a preset deviation threshold value from a preset minimum contrast value, setting the current power of illumination of the illuminator to the other predetermined power level in the set of predetermined power levels.

Abstract: A method for detecting the physical presence of a person at an expected person location, the method comprising the steps: a) providing a sensor device comprising one or several sensors, the sensor device being arranged to perform at least one high-power type measurement and at least one low-power type measurement, wherein the sensor device comprises at least one image sensor arranged to depict the person by a measurement of said high-power type, and wherein each of said low-power type measurements over time requires less electric power for operation as compared to said high-power type measurement; b) the sensor device detecting said potential presence of the person using at least one of said low-power type measurements; c) using one of said high-power type measurements, the sensor device producing an image depicting the person and detecting the presence of the person based on image analysis of said image; d) using at least one of said low-power type measurements, the sensor device detecting a maintained presence of the person; e) the sensor device failing to detect a maintained presence of the person; and f) reiterating to step b). The invention also relates to a system and to a computer software function.

Abstract: There is provided a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for performing three-dimensional, 3D, position estimation for the cornea center of an eye of a user, using a remote eye tracking system, wherein the position estimation is reliable and robust also when the cornea center moves over time in relation to an imaging device associated with the eye tracking system. This is accomplished by generating, using, and optionally also updating, a cornea movement filter, CMF, in the cornea center position estimation.
