See full text

A method and an apparatus for detecting blink are provided. After obtaining an eye image sequence of a user, a currently analyzed image and a previously captured image are obtained from the eye image sequence and reflective regions of the currently analyzed image and the previously captured image are filtered, wherein the brightness values of pixels included in the reflective regions are higher than a brightness threshold. Difference pixel amount between the currently analyzed image and the previously captured image is calculated so as to determine whether the user blinks according to the difference pixel amount.
