Tracking of eye movement by time series analysis

Vertigo is a common disease, however the cause is very complex and wide-ranged. So, high knowledge and skills are indispensable to diagnose vertigo accurately. Based on these backgrounds, this study aims at developing simple method for diagnosing vertigo, which analyzes nystagmus by image processing and Accelerometer. The algorithm for analyzing nystagmus can be divided into four stages: 1. Detect blink 2. Estimate and detect rapidly moving pupil position and radius 3. Analysis of head movement 4. Identify the causes of nystagmus. By this proposal method, we can analyze 1^st and 2^nd stages.
