System and method for estimating on-screen gaze position through mobile eye tracking

Abstract

System and method for estimating an on-screen gaze position through mobile eye tracking are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a computer program stored on a computer-readable medium is provided for performing a method for estimating an on-screen gaze position through mobile eye tracking, wherein the computer program causes a computer to perform the steps of: acquiring a first camera input image capturing a face of a user gazing at a screen of a mobile terminal on which content is being executed; generating a first eye-cropped image by cropping an eye region from the first camera input image; extracting a pupil from the first eye-cropped image and estimating a first relative position; and converting the first relative position into screen coordinates related to the screen using a screen coordinate reference value.
