Eye tracking

[ledion]

Hi everybody..
anyone has ever had to do with eye tracking? I got to do a project on this topic. My project consist in writing a code (that works in real-time) that tracks the eyes from a normal webcam of a notebook, and finds the direction of where the eyes are pointing at the screen of the pc.
Thanks in advance.

I was going to suggest you searched the forum because this was asked a while ago but it turns out that it was you that asked (back in December).

If you are using a fixed point camera (webcam of a notebook), you may want to use the term 'Gaze tracking' in searches. IIRC eye tracking is when the camera is head mounted.

search terms: Eye Tracking, Pupil Tracking, Gaze Tracking


Edit:
There is a paper call "Vision-Based Eye-Gaze Tracking for Human Computer Interface" that would probably be a good starting point.

You're right...I opend this topic in December, but at that time i really didnt know what i was supposed to do; i hadn't which technique of eye tracking i was going to use...anyway thank u for the paper u suggested. I found it. and i'll have a look on that. I tried to find some material on this subject, but i didn't find much. Most of them describe IR-using technique
