I have series of images extracted from a eye tracker video for both eyes. is there any image processing algorithm/method/technique available to find the following from those images:

  1. Horizontal eye movement for both eyes.
  2. Vertical eye movement for both eyes.
  3. Eye blinking for both eyes.

Thanks in advance for the help.

  • $\begingroup$ This depends on which types of images you have. Do you have close up images, such as iris datasets, or long range shots such as security, surveillance etc. Please elaborate. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I am tracking eye movements with an eye tracker which is at a distance of 1m from the eyes. So i can say that my images are close up images. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Can you update/edit your question with queries made by others? There are good many algorithms that can do the job. It would make it a great question if you add the details in the questions asked by the comments. $\endgroup$

You can see for algorithms in ieee sites there are tons of algorithm which might suit your requirement and

An Algorithm for Real-Time Eye-Movement Tracking with Free Head Movement

Robust algorithm for video based eye tracing. Are some examples.

If you’d like to come up with a rather quick solution by yourself you could try the following:

-Measure the retinas radius -do some preprocessing. Especially a BW transformation and maybe some thresholding. -Use hough circle to find the retina with the measured radius

The center of the circle can be tracked. Differences from previous sample would be the change in x and y direction. No circle for n seconds —> blinking time.
