This application is based on and claims the benefit of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0136644, filed on Oct. 10, 2014 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for tracking a gaze, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for tracking a gaze of a glasses wearer capable of tracking a gaze of a glasses wearer.
A system for tracking a gaze predicts a gaze direction by analyzing a movement of eyes. Generally, the system for tracking a gaze analyzes an eye image of a user photographed by a camera to calculate a gaze.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where:
FIG. 1 is a block configuration diagram illustrating an apparatus for tracking a gaze of a glasses wearer according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a process of tracking a gaze according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention; and
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the present specification, unless explicitly described to the contrary, “comprising” any components will be understood to imply the inclusion of other components rather than the exclusion of any other elements.
Further, the term “part”, “-er, -or”, “module”, or the like, described in the specification means a unit of processing at least one function or operation and may be implemented by hardware, software or a combination of hardware and software. Further, unless mentioned in the present specification otherwise or clearly refuted by a context in a context describing the present disclosure, an article such as “a, an”, “one”, “the”, or the like may be used as a meaning including both of a singular number and a plural number.
