Abstract
An eyetracker obtains a digital image representing at least one eye of a subject. The eyetracker then searches for pupil candidates in the digital image according to a search algorithm and, based on the searching, determines a position for the at least one eye in the digital image. The eyetracker also obtains light-intensity information expressing an estimated amount of light energy exposing the at least one eye when registering the digital image. In response to the light-intensity information, the eye-tracker determines a range of pupil sizes. The search algorithm applies the range of pupil sizes in such a manner that a detected pupil candidate must have size within the range of pupil sizes to be accepted by the search algorithm as a valid pupil of the subject.
