Detecting Smooth Pursuit Targets in Videos

The eye does smooth pursuit movements when following moving objects and such movements can be used for gaze-based interfaces. Typically the pursuit targets are generated by software. In contrast this thesis should research the detectibility of pursuit targets in a video.

Tasks

• Get familiar with hardware and software
• Find and study related literature
• Find or create royalty free videos with moving targets
• Develop software extracting target coordinates from the video and detect pursuit movements with the gaze coordinates given by the eye tracker
• Design a user study
• Conduct a user study
• Do a statistical evaluation
• Write all down in a thesis
