Abstract
Many research works have been carried out to measure and use a driver's gaze directions to prevent traffic accidents caused by inattentive driving, neglect to confirm safe conditions, and other driver errors. A calibration process is needed to measure correct gaze directions for a gaze tracking system. However, existing calibration methods require a driver to gaze at specified points before driving. In this paper, we propose a method for automatic calibration of an in-vehicle gaze tracking system by analyzing the driver's typical gaze behavior. The proposed method uses the rear-view and the side-view mirror positions as reference points. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by experiments on measuring gaze directions in actual road environments.
