Eye Detection and Eye Gaze Tracking

Eye Gaze Tracking

Eye gaze is defined as the line of sight of a person. It represents a person's focus of attention. Eye gaze tracking has been an active research topic for many decades because of its potential usages in various applications such as Human Computer Interaction (HCI), Virtual Reality, Eye Disease Diagnosis and Human Behavior Study, etc.

Eye Detection and Tracking

As one of the most salient features of human face, eyes play an important role in interpreting and understanding a person's desires, needs, and emotional states. In particular, the eye-gazes, indicating where a person is looking, can reveal the person's focus of attention. A good eye tracker is a prerequisite of eye gaze monitoring. Robust techniques for eye detection are of particular importance to eye-gaze tracking systems. Information about the eyes can also be used to detect human faces, which will be further analyzed to obtain the face pose information.
