PT Unknown AU Onur Ferhat Arcadi Llanza Fernando Vilariño TI A Feature-Based Gaze Estimation Algorithm for Natural Light Scenarios BT Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis, Proceedings of 7th Iberian Conference , ibPRIA 2015 PY 2015 BP 569 EP 576 VL 9117 DI 10.1007/978-3-319-19390-8_64 DE Eye tracking; Gaze estimation; Natural light; Webcam AB We present an eye tracking system that works with regular webcams. We base our work on open source CVC Eye Tracker [7] and we propose a number of improvements and a novel gaze estimation method. The new method uses features extracted from iris segmentation and it does not fall into the traditional categorization of appearance–based/model–based methods. Our experiments show that our approach reduces the gaze estimation errors by 34 % in the horizontal direction and by 12 % in the vertical direction compared to the baseline system. ER
