In the design of human-machine user interfaces (HMIs or UIs), the Design Eye Position (DEP) is the position from which the user is intended to view the workstation for an optimal view of the visual interface. The Design Eye Position represents the ideal but notional location of the operator's view and is usually expressed as a monocular point midway between the pupils of the average user.
System and method for determining human emotion by analyzing eye properties
InactiveUS20070066916A1Cancel noiseEasy to explainLocal control/monitoringComputer-assisted medical data acquisitionPupilComputer science
The invention relates to a system and method for determining human emotion by analyzing a combination of eye properties of a user including, for example, pupil size, blink properties, eye position (or gaze) properties, or other properties. The system and method may be configured to measure the emotional impact of various stimuli presented to users by analyzing, among other data, the eye properties of the users while perceiving the stimuli. Measured eye properties may be used to distinguish between positive emotional responses (e.g., pleasant or “like”), neutral emotional responses, and negative emotional responses (e.g., unpleasant or “dislike”), as well as to determine the intensity of emotional responses.

System and methods for controlling automatic scrolling of information on a display or screen
InactiveUS6351273B1Input/output for user-computer interactionSpeech analysisAutomatic controlDisplay device
A system for controlling the automatic scrolling of information on a computer display. The system includes a computer display, a computer gimbaled sensor for tracking the position of the user's head and user's eye, and a scroll activating interface algorithm using a neural network to find screen gaze coordinates implemented by the computer. A scrolling function is performed based upon the screen gaze coordinates of the user's eye relative t activation area(s) on the display. The gimbaled sensor system contains a platform mounted at the top of the display. The gimbaled sensor system tracks the user's head and eye allowing the user to be free from attachments while the gimbaled sensor system is tracking, still allowing the user to freely move his head. A method of controlling automatic scrolling of information on a display includes the steps of finding a screen gaze coordinate on the display of the user determining whether the screen gaze coordinate is within at least one activated control region, and activating scrolling to provide a desired display of information when the gaze direction is within at least one activated control region. In one embodiment, the control regions are defined as upper control region, lower region, right region and left region for controlling the scrolling respectively in downward, upward, leftward and rightward directions. In another embodiment, control regions are defined by concentric rings for maintaining the stationary position of the information or controlling the scrolling of the information towards the center of the display or screen.

Method of computing a hologram
ActiveUS20060139711A1Reduce calculationQuality improvementHolographic light sources/light beam propertiesHolographic optical componentsWavefrontComputer science
A method of computing a hologram by determining the wavefronts at the approximate observer eye position that would be generated by a real version of an object to be reconstructed. In normal computer generated holograms, one determines the wavefronts needed to reconstruct an object; this is not done directly in the present invention. Instead, one determines the wavefronts at an observer window that would be generated by a real object located at the same position of the reconstructed object. One can then back-transforms these wavefronts to the hologram to determine how the hologram needs to be encoded to generate these wavefronts. A suitably encoded hologram can then generate a reconstruction of the three-dimensional scene that can be observed by placing one's eyes at the plane of the observer window and looking through the observer window.

Technique using eye position and state of closure for increasing the effectiveness of iris recognition authentication systems
InactiveUS20050129286A1Increase in sizeSupport repeatabilitySpoof detectionEye stateInternet privacy
The invention, which is an embodiment of what the inventor calls, “Active Behavior Enhanced Iris Recognition Authentication”, employs a sequential iris imaging process where the authenticating party directs his or her gaze in specific directions, or closes their eyes for each image, so that an “eye state order” can be used to improve authentication security. Authentication security is strengthened based upon the reduced likelihood that a potential intruder would 1.) know what the correct sequence of eye states (i.e. up, down, left, right, camera view and closed) were associated with the control authentication template; 2.) be able to successfully “hack” the authentication server in order to gain access to the iris image information and also the eye state order information which would be required in order to fully compromise the authentication system. The technique embodied by the invention represents an overlay of a known, ordered sequence, over the iris recognition authentication process itself.

The position of an eye is detectable with high precision from a face image of a person taken under near infrared illumination or the like. After pre-processing, the face image is subjected to brightness correction to increase the contrast between the sclera portion and iris portion of the eye. Brightness gradient vectors are calculated for the brightness-corrected image, and matching is performed between a brightness gradient image generated using the calculated brightness gradient vectors and an eye template. Further, matching with a pupil template is performed to correct the eye center position. Final positions of both eyes are then determined.

Systems, methods, and processes are provided for locating pupils in a portrait image for applications such as facial recognition, facial authentication, and manufacture of identification documents. One proposed method comprises three steps; skin detection, eye detection, and pupil detection. In the first step, the skin detection employs a plurality of Gaussian skin models. In the second step, coarse eye locations are found by using the amount of deviation in the R (red) channel with an image that has been cropped by skin detection. A small block centered at an obtained coarse location is then further processed in pupil detection. The step of pupil detection involves determining a Pupil Index that measures the characteristics of a pupil. Experiments tested on highly jpeg compressed images show that the algorithm of this embodiment successfully locates pupil images. It is believed that this novel technique for locating pupils in images can improve the accuracy of face recognition and / or face authentication.

Rapid computation of local eye vectors in a fixed point lighting unit
InactiveUS6014144ADigital computer detailsElectric digital data processingFixation pointSpecular reflection
A rapid method for calculating a local eye vector in a fixed point lighting unit. For a given triangle primitive which is to be projected into a given viewport in screen space coordinates, the local eye vector corresponds to a given eye position and a first vertex of the given triangle primitive. (A different local eye vector is calculated for each vertex of the given triangle primitive). The method first comprises generating a view vector matrix which corresponds to the given eye position and corner coordinates of the given viewport, where the corner coordinates are expressed in screen space coordinates. The view vector matrix is usable to map screen space coordinates to an eye vector space which corresponds to the given viewport. The method next includes receiving a first set of coordinates (in screen space) which correspond to the first vertex. The first set of coordinates are then scaled to a numeric range which is representable by the fixed point lighting unit. Next, the first set of coordinates are transformed using the view vector matrix, which produces a non-normalized local eye vector within the eye vector space for the given viewport. The non-normalized local eye vector is normalized to form a normalized local eye vector. The normalized local eye vector is then usable to perform subsequent lighting computations such as computation of specular reflection values for infinite light sources, producing more realistic lighting effects than if an infinite eye vector were used. These more realistic lighting effects do not come at decreased performance, however, as the local eye vector may be calculated rapidly using this method.
