Description
Summary:Real-time eye and iris tracking is important for handsoff gaze-based password entry, instrument control by paraplegic patients, Internet user studies, as well as homeland security applications. In this project, a smart camera, LabVIEW and vision software tools are utilized to generate eye detection and tracking algorithms. The algorithms are uploaded to the smart camera for on-board image processing. Eye detection refers to finding eye features in a single frame. Eye tracking is achieved by detecting the same eye features across multiple image frames and correlating them to a particular eye. The algorithms are tested for eye detection and tracking under different conditions including different angles of the face, head motion speed, and eye occlusions to determine their usability for the proposed applications. This paper presents the implemented algorithms and performance results of these algorithms on the smart camera.
