Pupil detection algorithm based on RANSAC procedure

Abstract

In this paper a new pupil detection algorithm based on RANSAC procedure is presented. Unlike other similar algorithms reported in the literature, the proposed algorithm provides higher accuracy, low running time and operates properly in noise conditions and for variable illumination. This algorithm is used in the field of assistive technology in order to communicate with neuromotor disabled people by detecting their gaze direction, and can easily be adapted for other applications, such as PC control using eye-gaze detection.
