Abstract

We have developed an eye-gaze input system for people with severe physical disabilities, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The system utilizes a personal computer and a home video camera to detect eye-gaze under natural light. Our practical eye-gaze input system is capable of classifying the horizontal eye-gaze of users with a high degree of accuracy. However, it can only detect three directions of vertical eye-gaze. If the detection resolution in the vertical direction is increased, more indicators will be displayed on the screen. To increase the resolution of vertical eye-gaze detection, we apply a limbus tracking method, which is also the conventional method used for horizontal eye-gaze detection. In this paper, we present a new eye-gaze detection method by image analysis using the limbus tracking method. We also report the experimental results of our new method.
