Abstract
An image processing method for removal of glare spots appearing on images captured is disclosed. The method comprises transmitting, by way of a first illumination source, a first light ray towards a first gaze and by way of a second illumination source, a second light ray towards a second gaze. An image sensor captures a first gaze image comprising an image of the first gaze and captures a second gaze image comprising an image of the second gaze. A saturation spot removal algorithm selects a primary gaze image between the first gaze image captured and the second gaze image captured, in which the primary gaze image selected is suitable for removing a glare spot to yield a resultant gaze image for ascertaining a gaze direction, for eye tracking functions. A system, a computer program product, and a computer-readable medium of the same is also disclosed.
