Publication number: 20240302897Abstract: A camera-based eye-tracking system and a data classification method for persistent human-machine interfaces (HMI). An exemplary system may employ a deep learning algorithm (e.g., convolutional neural network) for classifying eye directions. In some implementations, the pupil center corneal reflection method of an eye tracker is employed for gaze tracking. The example system can use a supervisory control and data acquisition architecture that can be universally applied to any screen-based HMI task.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventor: Woon-Hong Yeo
