When a plurality of candidate corneal reflections are extracted from an image of a person, a line-of-sight detection device calculates a movement vector of a reflection location on the basis of the candidate corneal reflection extracted from a first image and a second image, calculates a movement vector of a reference point on the person on the basis of the reference point extracted from the first image and the second image, identifies a corneal reflection from among the plurality of candidate corneal reflections on the basis of the movement vector of the reflection location and the movement vector of the reference point so as to identify a location of the corneal reflection, and extracts a location of a pupil from the image, and calculates a line of sight of the person on the basis of the identified location of the corneal reflection and the extracted location of the pupil.

Line-of-sight detection device and line-of-sight detection method

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: calculate a first distance between an end of a first line in an object for reading displayed on a display screen and a beginning of a second line that is next to the first line in the object, and set, in accordance with the first distance, a condition for determining whether the object has been finished reading by a user based on detecting movement of a gaze position of the user on the display screen.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

A heartbeat signal method includes detecting first and second heartbeat signals, where the first and second heartbeat signals may be potential difference signals with respect to a reference potential. First and second average DC voltage values as voltage values of direct-current components in the first and second heartbeat signals are calculated. First and second average AC amplitude values as amplitude values of alternate-current components in the first and second heartbeat signals are calculated, and a correlation coefficient between the alternate-current component in the first heartbeat signal and the alternate-current component in the second heartbeat signal is calculated. An amplification factor is set to amplify the first or second heartbeat signal on the basis of the first and second average DC voltage values, the first and second average AC amplitude values, and the correlation coefficient. A differential heartbeat signal is generated by amplifying the first or second heartbeat signal by the amplification factor, and a difference between the first and second heartbeat signals is calculated.

Heartbeat signal processing method

A noise processing apparatus measures a first potential difference signal, between a first electrode and a second electrode that is used as a reference electrode, and measures a second potential difference signal, between the second electrode and a third electrode that is arranged on the steering unit in the apparatus. The apparatus calculates the difference between the intensities of the first potential difference signal and the second potential difference signal calculated at the predetermined intervals. The apparatus corrects the first potential difference signal or the second potential difference signal by using the calculated difference such that the intensities of the first potential difference signal and the second potential difference signal are canceled out. The apparatus calculates a differential signal indicating the difference between the first potential difference signal and the second potential difference signal by using the corrected potential difference signal, and outputs the differential signal.
