Abstract

A Recursive Online Weight Average filter (ROWA) is proposed to remove and replace noisy data obtained from eye tracker. Since the filter can be implemented online, it can detect and replace noisy data using solely past records. Simulations results indicate that the filter achieved the same performance compared to other standard offline filters while being simpler.

Eye-tracker data filtering using pulse coupled neural network
MS'06: Proceedings of the 17th IASTED international conference on Modelling and simulation

Data obtained from eye-tracker are contaminated with noise due to eye blink and hardware failure to detect corneal reflection. One solution is to use a nonlinear filter such as the median. However, median filters modify both noisy and noise free data ...
