Speaker session

Blink detection using eye openness signals

Description: Blinks, characterized by the closing and opening of the eyelids, offer valuable insights into human cognition, behavior, and physiological functions. In video-based eye trackers, blinks are typically estimated indirectly from the pupil size signal, where invalid samples are classified as blinks. This talk will introduce a blink detection method that utilizes an eye openness signal, which directly measures the distance between the upper and lower eyelids. We will explore the advantages of using the eye openness signal for blink detection and compare this method with blink detection based on pupil size.

Presenter: Ieva Miseviciute, Ph.D., Science writer, Tobii

Time:  Wednesday September 11th, 14:00 - 14:45

Location: The University Auditorium of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece
