Abstract

<p>An eye model expressed by a revolution about the optical axis of the eye is one of the most accurate models for use in a 3D gaze estimation method. The measurement range of the previous gaze estimation method that uses two cameras based on the eye model is limited by the larger of the two angles between the gaze and the optical axes of two cameras. The previous method cannot calculate the gaze when exceeding a certain limit of the rotation angle of the eye. In this paper, we show the characteristics of reflections on the surface of the eye from two light sources, when the eye rotates. Then, we propose a method that extends the rotation angle of the eye for a 3D gaze estimation based on this model. The proposed method uses reflections that were not used in the previous method. We developed an experimental gaze tracking system for a wide projector screen and experimentally validated the proposed method with 20 participants. The result shows that the proposed method can measure the gaze of more number of people with increased accuracy compared with the previous method.</p>
