Gaze Detection Technology as a Suspect Monitoring Tool
Monitoring and analyzing suspicious behavior has become a pressing need for law enforcement teams. A new development offers a “remote gaze detection technology” that enables real-time detection of the direction an individual is looking, even when using existing cameras from remote locations. The new development also has applications in the marketing field.
Conventional technologies estimate an individual’s line-of-sight using specialized devices equipped with infrared lights and advanced cameras that detect light as it is reflected from an individual’s eye. However, this new development uses face feature point detection technology, the core of NEC Corporation’s face recognition technology, to accurately identify characteristics in and around the eye, such as the pupil and the corners of the eye, from images taken with common cameras, including web, surveillance, tablet and smartphone cameras, without the need for specialized equipment. These images and technology enable highly accurate detection of an individual’s line-of-sight, with a measurement error of less than 5 degrees from the left, right, top and bottom.
