Abstract

Eye tracking is one of the NUI technologies, and it finds out where the user is gazing. This technology allows users to input text or control GUI, and further analyzes the user's gaze so that it can be applied to commercial advertisements. In the eye tracking system, the allowable range varies depending on the quality of the image and the degree of freedom of movement of the user. Therefore, there is a need for a method of estimating the accuracy of eye tracking in advance. The accuracy of eye tracking is greatly affected by how the eye tracking algorithm is implemented in addition to hardware variables. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a method to estimate how many degrees of gaze changes when the pupil center moves by one pixel by estimating the maximum possible movement distance of the pupil center in the image.

시선추적은 NUI 기술 중의 하나로 사용자가 응시하는 곳을 추적을 통해 알아낸다. 이 기술은 텍스트를 입력하거나 GUI를 제어할 수 있도록 하고 더 나아가 사용자의 시선 분석도 가능하게 하여 상업 광고 등에 응용될 수 있도록 한다. 시선추적 시스템은 영상의 품질과 사용자 움직임의 자유도에 따라 허용범위가 달라진다. 따라서 시선추적의 정밀도를 미리 추정하는 방법이 필요하다. 시선추적의 정확도는 하드웨어적인 변수 외에도 시선추적 알고리즘을 어떻게 구현하느냐에 따라 많은 영향을 받는다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 영상에서 동공 중심의 가능한 최대 이동 거리의 추정으로 동공 중심이 한 픽셀 움직일 때 시선은 몇 도가 바뀌는지 즉, 이론적 최대 분해능이 얼마인지를 추정하는 방법을 제시한다.
