Abstract

A challenge of current research concerning eye motion estimation in three-dimensional (3D) space is to estimate 3D eye motion from a two-dimension (2D) eye image. This paper proposed mathematic model using rotation matrix to estimate eye motion  in 3D space from a 2D eye image. Eye movement is captured from two cameras mounting on an infrared binocular. A camera focuses on an eye. Data is recorded in image sequence format. This method consists of two steps: 1) formed 3D eye visual model  2)formed mathematical model. First, 3D eye visual model reconstructed from OpenGL libray. Eye is rotated between +50 degrees in two directions: yaw and pitch axis. Length of vertical and horizontal lines across the pupil are measured and used as indicator of eye rotation. Second, mathematic model is formed by using rotation matrix to rotate reference points to calculate the length of the two lines. Computational result of the two line is compared with the lengths from real eye rotation. To test the performance of proposed method, computational result will be compared with 3D eye visual model. Rotation angle is varied from +50 degrees in yew and pitch axis. The accuracy result of horizontal movement (Rex) and vertical movement (Rey) are 99.53% and 99.29% respectively. To evaluate 3D motion of2D real eye image, Computation result will be compared with 2D eye image and sent to rotate 3D eye visual model is be the same as 2D eye image. The advantage of this method is that eye motion in 3D space can be estimated from only one camera. The application of this  method is to interpret the level of nystagmus disease in quality term.
