Abstract
In this paper, we propose the new gaze detection system with dual cameras (a wide and a narrow view camera). In order to locate the user’s eye position accurately, the narrow-view camera has the functionalities of auto focusing/panning/tilting based on the detected 3D eye positions from the wide view camera. In addition, we use the IR-LED illuminators for wide and narrow view camera, which can ease the detecting of facial features, pupil and iris position. To overcome the problem of specular reflection on glasses by illuminator, we use dual IR-LED illuminators for wide and narrow view camera. Experimental results show that the gaze detection error between the computed positions and the real ones is about 2.89 cm of RMS error.
