Pupil detection device, operating method of pupil detection device, and computing device including pupil detection device

Abstract

Disclosed is a computing device, which includes a processor, a camera that captures RGB image data, a memory that stores image data including the RGB image data, and a pupil detection device that detects a pupil from the RGB image data stored in the memory in response to a request of the processor. The pupil detection device includes an image converter that receives the RGB image data, detects first eye area data including eye area information from the received RGB image data, and converts the first eye area data into second eye area data having IR (InfraRed) image characteristics by using a deep neural network, a pupil candidate detector that detects pupil candidate data from the second eye area data, and a pupil boundary detector that detects pupil boundary data from the pupil candidate data.
