Abstract :
This paper presents a system for eye gaze tracking. The system consists of two CCD cameras and two novel light sources for stereovision. We propose a method for system calibration of gaze tracking system, in which camera is not directly facing the screen and light sources. A planar mirror is used to make them visible to the camera. Using planar calibration patterns, we can uniquely identify the reflection of each screen and light sources pixel on the imaged planar mirror. Using stereo camera parameters, we can obtain three-dimensional locations of mirror and screen´s reflection. This allows us to compute three-dimensional locations of screen and light sources. This result shows a consistent improvement in accuracy, which we illustrate with experiments on real data.
