  • Patent number: 11487360
    Abstract: A gaze tracking method includes the following steps. Firstly, a to-be-analyzed facial image is captured. Then, whether the to-be-analyzed facial image conforms to a customized 3D face model is determined If not, a customized 3D face model of the to-be-analyzed facial image is created. If yes, an eye area image of the to-be-analyzed facial image is obtained. Then, according to the customized 3D face model and the to-be-analyzed facial image, head posture information is obtained. Then, an eye camera coordinate value referenced to a camera coordinate system is obtained. Then, the eye camera coordinate value is converted into an eye frame coordinate value referenced to a display frame coordinate system. Then, according to the eye frame coordinate value, the head posture information and an eyeball radius, an eyeball center point coordinate value is obtained, and accordingly a gaze coordinate value is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20210198663
    Abstract: A nanowires/microscale pyramids (NWs/MPs) substrate complex structure is formed with a plurality of pyramids. Each triangular surface of the pyramid is formed with nanowires to increase the contact area. In one application, anti-epithelial-cell adhesion-molecule (anti-EpCAM) antibodies are modified on the nanowires. The anti-EpCAM antibodies serve to capture circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood for determining whether the cancer cells have metastasized to other organs. In another application, the nanowires are modified with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) which can be combined with other functional groups for testing. The AgNPs on the NWs/MPs substrate causes the NWs/MPs substrate to become a substrate with surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The AgNPs are bound with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) probe DNA which can be hybridized with EBV target DNAs so as to determine the concentration of the EBV target DNAs in blood. The methods for fabricating the substrate and its applications are also provided.
