Abstract

To determine impairment due to drugs or alcohol, an image capture component captures video of at least a head of a test subject. Cropped head images of the head of the test subject are extracted from sequential images of the video. For each cropped head image, a gaze angle of the test subject is determined from the cropped head image. The determined gaze angles are analyzed to determine horizontal nystagmus and/or angle of onset of nystagmus. A level of impairment of the test subject is determined from the horizontal nystagmus and/or angle of onset of nystagmus. A visual representation of the level of impairment of the test subject is generated on an associated display.
