Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis, we developed an algorithm to detect the correct line being read by participants. The comparisons of the reading line classification algorithms are demonstrated using eye-tracking data collected from a realistic reading experiment in front of a low-cost desktop-mounted eye-tracker. With the development of eye-tracking techniques, research begins to aim at trying to understand information from the eyes. However, state of the art in eye-tracking applications is affected by a large amount of measurement noise. Even the expensive eye-trackers still suffer significant noise. In addition, the inherent characteristics of gaze movement increase the difficulty of obtaining valuable information …
