Abstract
A line-of-sight detection device includes a camera, a light source that causes corneal reflection, and an image processing device that obtains information on a pupil shape of an eye, a position of a pupil center, and a position of the cornea reflection and obtains a line of sight of a subject. The image processing device includes a first optical axis acquisition unit that acquires a first optical axis candidate using the position of the pupil center and the position of the cornea reflection, a second optical axis acquisition unit that obtains a second optical axis candidate using the pupil shape, an optical axis information acquisition unit that generates information for acquiring the optical axis, a calibration information unit that provides calibration information, and a visual axis acquisition unit that obtains a visual axis as a line of sight by calibrating an optical axis using the calibration information.
