Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a processor, a video of an illuminated face. Video frames in the video are associated with different time instants of a time series, respectively. The method includes determining a region of interest (ROI) that includes a closed eye on the face based on at least one frame in a plurality of video frames in the video. The method includes slicing each ROI based on slice parameters for selecting a vertical slice that includes a eye centroid of the closed eye, and selecting a horizontal slice that intersects the vertical slice at a pivot (P) located lpixels from the eye centroid. The method includes determining an eyeball motion signal according to the time series, based on a measured value of a shadow intensity of the eye within at least one of the vertical slice or the horizontal slice at each of the different time instants.
