  • Abstract
    This paper contains experimental procedure of webcam-based eye-tracker specially for low power devices. This paper consists of five processes. First one is background suppression for reducing average processing requirement. Second one is Haar-cascade feature-based face detection algorithm. Third one is geometrically eye-position determination. The fourth part is to detect and track eye-ball center using mean of gradient vector. The fifth and last step is to detect where the user looking. We simply calculate percentage of movement of eye to detect either it looking left, right, up or down. This procedure is highly effective with satisfactory accuracy. It also requires less processing power.
