Capturing and evaluating blinks from video-based eyetrackers

Abstract: Blinks are related to several emotional states, and the present report describes a simple, reliable way to measure blinks from the video stream of an eye obtained during eyetracking, where the source of the eye video is a video camera attached to a head-mounted eyetracker. Computer vision techniques are employed to determine the moments that a blink starts and ends, for the purpose of calculating blink frequency and duration. The video is first processed to show blocks of eyelid and pupil movements, and is the… Show more

“…This algorithm is inspired by the work of Jiang et al, 2013 10 , although several important modifications were implemented. First, the luminosity of the image is normalized using a 31x31 pixel median filter, after which the Otsu 18 optimal threshold binarisation is applied.…”

“…The high-quality image of the eye enabled us to compute the number of blinks and report blink durations. As we reported elsewhere, the accuracy of this algorithm can be as high as 98 % when compared to the detection by human operators using video [20].…”
