Title: Ocular video stabilization
Inventor: ERFAN DAVAMI
IPC: G06T7/246
Filed: 2017-11-27
Abstract: A method for ocular stabilization of video images, suitable for use in augmented reality head mounted displays, has the steps of obtaining binocular eye-gaze directions of the left 501-L and right 501-R eyes of a user of a wearable head-mountable device (HMD) (102, figure 1a) using an eye-tracking device, while simultaneously capturing video images in a forward field of view with a forward-facing video camera 502 of the HMD. Based on the obtained binocular eye-gaze directions of left and right eyes of the user of the HMD, convergent gaze directions of the user 503-L, 503-R are determined as a function of time during an interval concurrent with the capturing of the video images. The captured video images are then stabilized by compensating for motion of the forward-facing video camera with an intersection of the convergent gaze directions of the user with an image plane of the forward-facing video camera. In another aspect of the invention, only one eye is tracked. A further aspect uses stereoscopic eye tracking, with individual cameras 504-L, 504-R for each eye.
