Background:

Video eye tracking systems are susceptible to artifacts caused by camera movement relative to the user's head.
These artifacts can compromise the accuracy and reliability of eye tracking data.
Accurate measurement of camera translation is crucial for robust eye tracking performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate an automated image processing technique for detecting and measuring camera-to-eye translation in video.
To improve the accuracy and robustness of eye tracking by mitigating motion artifacts.
To leverage physiological knowledge to enhance algorithmic precision.

Main Methods:

A novel combination of image processing techniques, including cross-correlation methods and eyelid feature analysis.
Comparison of eye images against reference frames using cross-correlation.
Isolation and comparison of the upper eyelid region to refine translation approximation.
Development of an eyelid template from multiple frames for enhanced cross-correlation accuracy.

Main Results:

The proposed method achieves high accuracy in measuring camera translation, with a mean error of 1.3 pixels.
The template-based cross-correlation method demonstrated superior performance compared to other approaches.
The technique effectively eliminates image features that could introduce errors, increasing robustness.
The method is validated as a viable solution for correcting camera movement artifacts.

Conclusions:

The developed image processing technique offers a highly accurate and robust solution for measuring camera translation in video eye tracking.
This advancement is critical for improving the reliability of eye tracking data in various applications.
The method's reliance on physiological features like the eyelid enhances its effectiveness and applicability.
