Description
Summary:Tracking drivers' eyes and gazes is a topic of great interest in the research of advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS). It is especially a matter of serious discussion among the road safety researchers' community, as visual distraction is considered among the major causes of road accidents. In this paper, techniques for eye and gaze tracking are first comprehensively reviewed while discussing their major categories. The advantages and limitations of each category are explained with respect to their requirements and practical uses. In another section of the paper, the applications of eyes and gaze tracking systems in ADAS are discussed. The process of acquisition of driver's eyes and gaze data and the algorithms used to process this data are explained. It is explained how the data related to a driver's eyes and gaze can be used in ADAS to reduce the losses associated with road accidents occurring due to visual distraction of the driver. A discussion on the required features of current and future eye and gaze trackers is also presented.
