  • Publication number: 20230421908
    Abstract: An eye tracking system comprising: a plurality of light sources that are arranged to illuminate a user's eye when the eye tracking system is in use; and a controller configured to: receive a first-image of a surface, acquired while the surface is illuminated by a first set of the plurality of light sources; receive a second-image of the surface, acquired while the surface is illuminated by a second set of the plurality of light sources, wherein the second set of light sources is different to the first set of light sources; process the first-image and the second-image to determine an illumination contribution of one or more of the light sources; and determine light-source-control-signaling for one or more of the light sources based on the determined illumination contribution of the one or more of the light sources.

  • Patent number: 11823413
    Abstract: An eye tracking system configured to: receive a plurality of right eye images of a right eye of a user; receive a plurality of left eye images of a left eye of a user, each left eye image corresponding to a right eye image in the plurality of right eye images; detect a pupil and determine an associated pupil signal, for each of the plurality of right eye images and each of the plurality of left eye images; calculate a right eye pupil variation of the pupil signals for the plurality of right eye images and a left eye pupil variation of the pupil signals for the plurality of left eye images; and determine a right eye weighting and a left eye weighting based on the right eye pupil variation and the left eye pupil variation.

  • Patent number: 11681366
    Abstract: Images of an eye are captured by a camera. For each of the images, gaze data is obtained and a position of a pupil center is estimated in the image. The gaze data indicates a gaze point and/or gaze direction of the eye when the image was captured. A mapping is calibrated using the obtained gaze data and the estimated positions of the pupil center. The mapping maps positions of the pupil center in images captured by the camera to gaze points at a surface, or to gaze directions. A further image of the eye is captured by the camera. A position of the pupil center is estimated in the further image. Gaze tracking is performed using the calibrated mapping and the estimated position of the pupil center in the further image. These steps may for example be performed at a HMD.

  • Patent number: 11593962
    Abstract: An eye tracking system configured to: receive a plurality of right-eye-images of a right eye of a user; receive a plurality of left-eye-images of a left eye of a user, each left-eye-image corresponding to a right-eye-image in the plurality of right-eye-images; detect a pupil and determine an associated pupil-signal, for each of the plurality of right-eye-images and each of the plurality of left-eye-images; calculate a right-eye-pupil-variation of the pupil-signals for the plurality of right-eye-images and a left-eye-pupil-variation of the pupil-signals for the plurality of left-eye-images; and determine a right-eye-weighting and a left-eye-weighting based on the right-eye-pupil-variation and the left-eye-pupil-variation.
