US Patent Issued to Georgia Tech Research on March 17 for "Persistent human-machine interfaces via gaze and eye direction tracking" (Georgia Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,578,788, issued on March 17, was assigned to Georgia Tech Research Corp. (Atlanta).

"Persistent human-machine interfaces via gaze and eye direction tracking" was invented by Woon-Hong Yeo (Atlanta).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A camera-based eye-tracking system and a data classification method for persistent human-machine interfaces (HMI). An exemplary system may employ a deep learning algorithm (e.g., convolutional neural network) for classifying eye directions. In some implementations, the pupil center corneal reflection method of an eye tracker is employed for gaze tracking. The example system can use a supervisory control and data ...
