Abstract:
A sight line vector detecting method includes: emitting LED light beams from LED light sources arranged on both sides of a camera to an eye; photographing the eye by the camera; acquiring a plane which includes one light source position of the LED light sources, a lens center position of the camera, and a spatial position on a photographed image as to one luminescent spot on a cornea spherical surface, and another plane which includes the other light source position, the lens center position of the camera, and a spatial position on the photographed image as to the other luminescent spot on the cornea spherical surface; acquiring a line of intersection between the two planes; acquiring a center of a cornea ball which is on the intersection line and satisfies a predetermined condition; and acquiring a center of a pupil.
