Patent ID: 11570370

Abstract:
There is provided a method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for controlling an eye tracking system (200) to obtain a first image (500) captured under active illumination by at least one infrared, IR, illuminator (112, 113) associated with the eye tracking system (200) and at a current exposure setting, using the image sensor device (110); and, if at least one eye (100, 120) is depicted in the first image (500): define at least one region of interest, ROI, (501, 502, 503, 504) from the first image (500) comprising a group of pixels in the first image (500) representing at least a part of the depicted at least one eye (100, 120); determine a respective intensity value for each of the at least one ROI (501, 502, 503, 504); determine a second exposure setting by adjusting at least one exposure parameter of the image sensor device (110) based on the determined intensity value, or values, for the at least one ROI (501, 502, 503, 504); and set the current exposure setting to the second exposure setting.
