Gaze tracking is basic research in the era of the Internet of Things. This study attempts to improve the performance of gaze tracking in an active infrared source gaze-tracking system. Owing to unavoidable noise interference, the estimated points of regard (PORs) tend to fluctuate within a certain range. To reduce the fluctuation range and obtain more stable results, we introduced a Kalman filter (KF) to filter the gaze parameters. Considering that the effect of filtering is relevant to the motion state of the gaze, we design the measurement noise that varies with the speed of the gaze. In addition, we used a correlation filter-based tracking method to quickly locate the pupil, instead of the detection method. Experiments indicated that the variance of the estimation error decreased by 73.83%, the size of the extracted pupil image decreased by 93.75%, and the extraction speed increased by 1.84 times. We also comprehensively discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed method, which provides a reference for related research. It must be pointed out that the proposed algorithm can also be adopted in any eye camera-based gaze tracker. |
