Eye tracking in Android [closed]

Question

I'm looking to do basic eye tracking using an Android tablet, hopefully to track the users eyes to allow movement of a cursor around the screen. I've been doing some searching, I've read a little bit about OpenCV and FaceL and have seen an example in another SO question here showing it is possible to track eye movement on android.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good tutorials or sample code that would be good to refer to or work from? I'm looking for anything that can help me figure how to get this working. Even in its most basic form.

Answer 1

I found your question via comment. FaceL use OpenCV too, but with python wrappers.

For basic ideas I recommend this:

• eye tracking
• eye detect

but they are in native C API (OpenCV 1.X), OpenCV 2.3 java wrappers use C++ API (OpenCV 2.X) syntax, so Mat instead Iplimage etc. You can see new syntax in: template matching

On android you can choose two way to access OpenCV - JAVA API (70% functions) or C++ (with android NDK)

Im using java side and think, all functions you would need are accessible via java side.

Hope that helped you a little ;)

Answer 2

Try Opengazer. Actually it is used in PC (linux/Mac). But you can get an idea where to start.
