Abstract
A method and an electronic apparatus for locating the center of a pupil are provided. The method includes: obtaining a glint-free image including a pupil; generating a gradient magnitude graph and a gradient orientation graph based on the glint-free image; sifting a plurality of first pixels from the gradient magnitude graph, and finding a plurality of second pixels corresponding to the plurality of first pixels in the gradient orientation graph; taking a negative gradient orientation to each of the second pixels to generate a gradient emission graph including a plurality of emissions; defining a center of the pupil in the glint-free image based on the plurality of emissions in the gradient emission graph.
