Recognition of eye direction using separability filters in touch-type training

The authors propose a method to extract the face area from a trainee´s picture using mosaic templates and recognize a trainee´s eye direction using separability filters in touch-type training using a camera. The recognition of a trainee´s eye direction enable one to give a trainee warnings and appropriate advice, and these warnings and advice assist a trainee to learn touch-typing quickly. On the experimental results for twenty trainees´ black-and-white pictures, the authors obtained an 83% recognition rate.
