Abstract

Head-mounted eye-tracking instruments are important devices for sports and human factors research, and their calibration is a more tedious task due to the varied morphology of the human head as well as wear differences. In order to improve the calibration efficiency, we innovatively proposed a Z-shaped moving target instead of a fixed target in our self-research for the calibration of the wearable eye-tracking device, which improved the time needed for calibration from 100 seconds to less than 30 seconds. In addition, in order to reduce the calibration error caused by the user's head movement during the calibration, the world camera image is feature-matched, and the virtual optic target is computed instead of the recognized optic target, thus eliminating the effect of head movement. In the calibration experiments of nine graduate students, the calibration accuracy was less than 20 pixels, and the average calibration time was about 24 seconds.
