Abstract

See full text

A system and methods for geometric calibration and use of head-worn multi-camera eye tracking system are provided. The system calibrates the internal and external parameters of the cameras as well as the parameters of a compact geometric model of the human eye. An exo-camera determines a relative pose with regard to a computer monitor and endo-cameras determine the eyeball position and orientation. An endo-exo calibration and an endo-eye calibration each with an optimization step are included. A homography and a joint optimization step are also provided. A single point calibration re-establishes calibration. The system in operational mode determines a user's gaze direction to perform a computer input function.
