An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a light emitting unit configured to alternately emit light having a preset pattern to an eye area of a user; an inputter configured to receive a plurality of images which capture an eye area of the user; and a processor configured to detect a user's gaze using a first image that is captured at the time of irradiating a preset first pattern and a second image that is captured at the time of irradiating a preset second pattern, and the processor detects a user's gaze by extracting reflection points of each of the first image and the second image and using remaining reflection points excluding reflection points at a same position from among the extracted reflection points.

Electronic apparatus, method for controlling thereof and the computer readable recording medium

An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes an inputter configured to receive a binocular image which is a captured image of both eyes of a user and a stereo image which is an image of a direction corresponding to a gaze of the user captured at locations spaced apart from each other, and a processor configured to detect a watch point of a user in the stereo image by using the binocular image, obtain a disparity map in the input stereo image, and compensate the detected watch point using the obtained disparity map.
