Line of Sight Estimation Accuracy Improvement using Depth Image and Ellipsoidal Model of Cornea Curvature

Abstract

Line of sight estimation accuracy improvement is attempted using depth image (distance between user and display) and ellipsoidal model (shape of user’s eye) of cornea curvature. It is strongly required to improve line of sight estimation accuracy for perfect computer input by human eyes only. The conventional method for line of sight estimation is based on the approximation of cornea shape with ellipse function in the acquired eye image. The proposed estimation method is based on the approximation of crystalline lenses and cornea with ellipsoidal function. Therefore, much accurate approximation can be performed by the proposed method. Through experiments, it is found that depth images are useful for improvement of the line of sight estimation accuracy.
