  • Publication number: 20090216092
    Abstract: The present system for analyzing eye responses to automatically detect deception obtains a series of digital image frames from a headset. This system precisely controls the illumination generated by the headset to bias the subject's pupils and automatically and precisely determine the subject's pupil location, size, and responsiveness. These measurements enable the system for analyzing eye responses to automatically detect deception by accurately measuring the subject's involuntary pupillary responses to questions posed by an examiner. These measurements can be used exclusively or in combination with one or more of the standard elements of the polygraph machine to automatically detect deception.

  • Patent number: 7338166
    Abstract: The image-based system is used to observe and document eye responses which can be used to implement the procedures defined in the Standardized Field Sobriety Test as well as the Drug Recognition Expert Program. These eye responses include pupil movement, as well as pupil size and responses, for either one or both eyes simultaneously. The system includes a headset against which the subject places their face. The faceplate has an opening through which illumination devices transmit beams of infrared light to illuminate the subject's eyes. A reflective protractor, having a scale imprinted thereon, is mounted on the headset above the eye opening and facing the test administrator to provide an image of the stimulus target that is used by the test administrator. Two imaging devices are mounted on the headset opposite the eye opening to generate images of the subject's illuminated eyes.
