Abstract

This paper addresses the accuracy problem of an eye gaze tracking system. We first analyze the technical barrier for a gaze tracking system to achieve a desired accuracy, and then propose a subpixel tracking method to break this barrier. We present new algorithms for detecting the inner eye corner and the center of an iris at subpixel accuracy, and we apply these new methods in developing a real-time gaze tracking system. Experimental results indicate that the new methods achieve an average accuracy within 1.4/spl deg/ using normal eye image resolutions.
