EYE GAZE TRACKING METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17765612 titled 'EYE GAZE TRACKING METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an eye gaze tracking method using multiple cameras to capture facial images and detect the position on a display screen where the viewer's eyes gaze.
- Method uses at least two cameras to capture facial images when viewer looks at a display screen.
- Segments current facial image frame to obtain images of left and right eyes using pre-trained eye detection model.
- Calculates similarity between current frame and previous frames of facial images.
- If similarity is below threshold, detects position on display screen where viewer's eyes gaze.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- Human-computer interaction systems
- Virtual reality and augmented reality devices
- Market research for analyzing consumer behavior
Problems Solved
- Improved accuracy and efficiency of eye gaze tracking
- Enhanced user experience in interactive systems
- Better understanding of viewer engagement with content
Benefits
- Real-time tracking of eye movements
- Personalized user interfaces based on gaze behavior
- Enhanced data collection for research and analysis
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing this technology for:
- Gaming industry for immersive experiences
- Advertising industry for targeted campaigns
- Healthcare industry for assistive technologies
Possible Prior Art
Prior eye tracking methods using single cameras or infrared sensors for gaze detection.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle different lighting conditions for accurate gaze tracking?
The abstract does not specify how the method adjusts for varying lighting conditions that may affect the accuracy of eye gaze tracking.
What is the processing speed of this eye gaze tracking system?
The abstract does not mention the processing speed of the system in capturing and analyzing frames of facial images for gaze detection.
Original Abstract Submitted
An eye gaze tracking method, apparatus and system are provided, which belong to the technical field of image processing. The eye gaze tracking method includes: capturing, by at least two cameras, frames of facial images when a viewer views display screen; segmenting a current frame of facial image with pre-trained eye detection model to obtain an image for left and right eyes; calculating a similarity between the current frame of facial image and each of previous N frames of facial images; if the similarity between the current frame of facial image and each of previous N frames of facial images is less than the preset threshold, detecting a position on display screen at which the eyes of the viewer gaze with pre-trained eye detection model. Embodiments of the present disclosure can improve accuracy and efficiency of eye gaze tracking.
