Abstract

Advanced eye-tracking methods require a dedicated display equipped with near-infrared LEDs (light-emitting diodes). However, this requirement hinders the widespread adoption of such methods. Additionally, some glints may pass undetected when a large display is employed. To avoid these problems, we propose eye gaze estimation using imperceptible markers presented on a commercially available high-speed display. The marker reference points reflected on the cornea are extracted instead of glints, and the point-of-gaze can be estimated using the cross-ratio method. The accuracy of the estimated point-of-gaze was approximately 1.64 degrees, as verified from experimental evaluations of the estimation using a high-speed display.
