Abstract
Gaze tracking data may representing a user's gaze with respect to one or more images transmitted to a user are analyzed to determine one or more regions of interest. Compression of the one or more transmitted images is adjusted so that fewer bits are needed to transmit data for portions of an image outside the one or more regions interest than for portions of the image within the one or more regions of interest.
Claims33
A method comprising:
- obtaining gaze tracking data representing a user's gaze with respect to one or more images transmitted to a user;
- analyzing the gaze tracking data to determine one or more regions of interest;
- and adjusting the compression of the one or more transmitted images so that fewer bits are needed to transmit data for portions of an image outside the one or more regions interest than for portions of the image within the one or more regions of interest.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory;
- and
- computer-readable instructions embodied in the memory, the computer-readable instructions being configured to implement a method when executed, the method comprising:
- obtaining gaze tracking data representing a user's gaze with respect to one or more images transmitted to a user;
- analyzing the gaze tracking data to determine one or more regions of interest;
- and adjusting the compression of the one or more transmitted images so that fewer bits are needed to transmit data for portions of an image outside the one or more regions interest than for portions of the image within the one or more regions of interest.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions embodied therein, the computer-readable instructions being configured to implement a method when executed, the method comprising:
- obtaining gaze tracking data representing a user's gaze with respect to one or more images transmitted to a user;
- analyzing the gaze tracking data to determine one or more regions of interest;
- and adjusting the compression of the one or more transmitted images so that fewer bits are needed to transmit data for portions of an image outside the one or more regions interest than for portions of the image within the one or more regions of interest.
