Abstract: An eye tracking system comprising a processor configured to: receive a plurality of images of an eye from a camera, each image comprising an illuminated sub-region of a cornea of the eye, the illuminated sub-region comprising: a first corneal reflection of a first light source from a surface of the illuminated sub-region; and a second corneal reflection of a second light source from the surface of the illuminated sub-region; for each image, determine a three-dimensional, 3D, position of the first corneal reflection and a 3D position of the second corneal reflection based on a position of the camera, a position of the first light source, a position of the second light source, positions of the first and second corneal reflections in the image and a corneal surface model for the illuminated sub region; and output a topographical profile of the cornea based on the 3D positions determined for each image.

Abstract: A controller configured to: receive first and second curve data respectively defining first and second curves respectively representative of first and second eyelid edges in an eye image; determine an eye-openness-indicator-line extending from a first intersection point on the first curve to a second intersection point on the second curve by performing an optimisation routine comprising: defining an objective function representative of: an orthogonality of the eye-openness-indicator-line to a first tangent to the first curve at the first intersection point; and an orthogonality of the eye openness indicator line to a second tangent to the second curve at the second intersection point; and adjusting a value of the first intersection point and a value of the second intersection point until at least one termination condition for a value of the objective function is satisfied; and provide an eye openness value based on a length of the eye-openness-indicator-line.

Abstract: Methods and corresponding systems of controlling illuminators in an eye tracking system are disclosed. The system includes a first image sensor, a second image sensor, a first close illuminator arranged to capture bright pupil images by the first image sensor, a second close illuminator arranged to capture bright pupil images by the second image sensor and one or more far illuminators arranged to capture dark pupil images by the first image sensor and the second image sensor. In the methods main and support illuminators are controlled during exposure of a first and a second image sensor to produce enhanced contrast and glint position for eye/gaze tracking.

Abstract: A method of updating a cornea model for a cornea of an eye is disclosed, as well as a corresponding system and storage medium. The method comprises controlling a display to display a stimulus at a first depth, wherein the display is capable of displaying objects at different depths, receiving first sensor data obtained by an eye tracking sensor while the stimulus is displayed at the first depth by the display, controlling the display to display a stimulus at a second depth, wherein the second depth is different than the first depth, receiving second sensor data obtained by the eye tracking sensor while the stimulus is displayed at the second depth by the display, and updating the cornea model based on the first sensor data and the second sensor data.
