    Eye tracking technology in low resolution scenarios is not a completely solved issue to date. The possibility of using eye tracking in a mobile gadget is a challenging objective that would permit to spread this technology to non-explored fields. In this paper, a knowledge based approach is presented to solve gaze estimation in low resolution settings. The understanding of the high resolution paradigm permits to propose alternative models to solve gaze estimation. In this manner, three models are presented: a geometrical model, an interpolation model and a compound model, as solutions for gaze estimation for remote low resolution systems. Since this work considers head position essential to improve gaze accuracy, a method for head pose estimation is also proposed. The methods are validated in an optimal framework, I2Head database, which combines head and gaze data. The experimental validation of the models demonstrates their sensitivity to image processing inaccuracies, critical in the case of the geometrical model. Static and extreme movement scenarios are analyzed showing the higher robustness of compound and geometrical models in the presence of user’s displacement. Accuracy values of about 3◦ have been obtained, increasing to values close to 5◦ in extreme displacement settings, results fully comparable with the state-of-the-art.

    Optimizing interoperability between video-oculographic and electromyographic systems
    (Rehabilitation Research & Development Service, 2011) Navallas Irujo, Javier; Ariz Galilea, Mikel; Villanueva Larre, Arantxa; San Agustín, Javier; Cabeza Laguna, Rafael; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    A new system is presented that enhances the interoperability between a video-oculographic (VOG) system for mouse movement control and an electromyographic (EMG) system for mouse click detection. The proposed VOG-EMG system combines gaze and muscle information to minimize the number of undesired clicks due to involuntary activations and environmental noise. We tested the system with 24 subjects, comparing three different configurations: one in which the VOG and EMG systems worked independently and two in which we used VOG gaze information to improve the EMG click detection. Results show that the number of false-positive click detections can be reduced when VOG and EMG information is combined. In addition, the third configuration, including extra processing, can reduce the activation delay produced because of the combined use of the VOG and EMG systems. The new VOG-EMG system is meant to be used in noisy environments in which the number of false clicks may impeach a reliable human-computer interaction.
