Abstract
In this paper, we developed a low-cost video-oculography device that diagnose neural diseases such as nystagmus by the vestibular function test using an infrared camera. An infrared camera and LEDs were attached in a pair of developed goggles, which was located in front of an eye for experimenters. Collected videos were converted to gray channel from RGB channel, and each pupil was extracted using morphology operation. Rotatory chair tests were conducted with our device. Gain, asymmetry and phase were calculated from obtained video.
