Abstract

This paper introduces a new approach for accurate eye center localization based upon optimized image gradients algorithm. The proposed approach requires pre-fetched feature descriptors to detect the accurate iris centers amongst the possible eye center candidates computed by image gradients over the face image data-set. The results of the proposed algorithm for detecting eye, iris, and iris centers over the test set images of publicly available low resolution and challenging data-set show an accuracy percentage of 98.9, 95.7, and 89.2, respectively. The comparison results obtained by the proposed approach were at par with the state-of-the-art techniques involving complex calculations and training requirements. So, the superior performance and outcome of the proposed approach show the usefulness of optimizing the results of simple image gradients by pre-fetched Scale Invariant Feature Transform feature descriptors in detecting iris centers under unconstrained environments. The proposed approach may be useful for the development of real-time eye gaze tracking application with improved robustness and accuracy.
