==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.
