Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure Apparatus for recording eye movement. A
light source has its rays directed toward the eye of a subject and a glass dome secured to spectacle frames worn by the subject. The primary and secondary glints reflected off the glass dome and eye cornea, respect-ively, are transmitted via mirrors, lenses and a fiber optic image guide to a video camera tube. The posi-tion of the glints on an XY axis is electronically determined and the information is fed to a computer which compares the data from the two glints and compensates for the head movement which corresponds to movement of the primary glint.

Description
Eye Movement R rding Apparatus This invention relates to eye ~ovement recordin~ apparatus, and particularly to apparatus which utilizes corneal reflections and compensates for head movement.
At least since the time of the 1958 publica-tion of Mackworth et al, "Eye Fixations Recorded on Changing Visual Scenes by the Television Eye Marker,"
Journal of the Optical Societ~ of America, July, 1958, eye movement has been recorded by reflecting a light source off the cornea and determining the position o~
the recorded glint, the glint being the reflected beam. This system generally has found use in market research. For example, an advertising print may be projected onto a screen. A subject views the screen and moves his eye to focus on the images on the screen to which the subject is attracted, By recording the eye movement and ccrrelating those movements to the imayes on the screen, the point of at~raction can been determined. As Mackworth points out, head movements can create artifacts or errors. Head movements of as little as 0.075 millimeters will produce an artifact.
f~
The solution to head movement commonly practiced has been to provide structure for rigid head fixation.
The structure required for rigid head fixation is at best uncomfortable and not particularly suitable for use with a large number of subjects as would be required for a thorough market research program, The Whittaker Corporation of Waltham, Massachusetts has provided apparatus for measuring head movement which does not require total head fixation. In the Whittaker apparatus, the movement of the center of the pupil is compared to the movement of the corneal reflection, the movement of the center of the pupil being a measure of head movement. This informatioa is processed in a digital computer and a scan pa-ttern, with compensation for head movement, is obtained. The disadvantages of the Whittaker system is that it can compensate for only limited hea~
movement as, for example, 2 mm.
An object of the present invention has bee~
to provide improved apparatus which permits the recording of corneal reflections and which compensates for substantially greater hea~ movement than has beer.
possible with prior apparatus.
This objective of the invention is attained by providing a separate reflector mounted on spectacle frames or the like which will move with the subject's head, A light source is directed to the cornea as well as the fixed reflector producing a primary glint L6~3'~
from the flxed reflector and a secondary glint from the cornea. The movement of the primary glint is directly related to head movement and the movement of the secondary glint directly related to the movement of the corneaO The glints are transmitted to a television camera tube preferably via an optical fiber light image guide. There, the inform-ation is compared and the true location of the subject's ga~e is recorded. that information can be portrayed on a screen in the form of a grid overlying the picture on the screen which the subject is viewing or, alternatively, the data can be processed with a printout indicating such information as which image in the picture the subject viewed and how long did the subject spend on the particular image.
Specifically, the invention relates to apparatus for recording eye movement, a light source positionable in front of a subject so that light rays can impinge on the cornea of the subject and reflect a secondary glint, a receiver for the light rays mountable on the head of the subject, the receiver receiving a secondary glint from a cornea of the subject on which the receiver is mounted, a glass dome mounted in the receiver to receive light rays directly from the source, unaffected by reflection from the cornea, and reflect a primary glint from the source off the dome, means for transmitting the primary and secondary glints to a video camera tube and means for comparing the positions of the primary and secondary glints to determine eye movement with compensation for head movement.

The several feat.ures of the invention will become more readily apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic top plan view of the apparatus;
~ Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic enlarged top plan view of the apparatus partly in section; and Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic view of a picture viewed by the subject.
Referring to E'ig. 1, the head of the subject is shown at 10 with the subject viewing a picture produced by a projector 12 onto a projector screen 11. Spec-tacle frames 15 are provided for the subject and a kh/ ~
6~
beam receiver 16 is fixed to the spectacle frames. A
light source 17 directs a beam of light at the subject so that the rays will impinge upon the cornea of the left eye of the subject as well as ~ reflector within the receiver 16. The light source includes a filter 18, as, for example, a red filter, which minimizes the disturbance of the light source on the eye of the subject. A dispersing lens 19 is provided to spread the light source and to provide substantially ur.iform intensity on the cornea and the fixed reflector.
The receiver 16 is connected by a fiber optic image guide 25 to a video camera tube 26. The video camera tube preferably is of high light sensit,i-;'~ vity such as is provided by the Ultracon/manufactured by RCA. The Raster scan of the video tube will create a voltage spike at the positions of the primary and secondary glints from the fixed reflector and cornea, respectively. This video sigr.al is fed to a computer 27 where it is converted to an analog signal. The analog signal in turn is converted to an XY formatcorresponding to the positions of the respective glints on XY coordinates. That information is in turn converted to digital informatlon~ An eye movement compensation computation is made by the computer in accordance with the following equation:
Horizontal KH2tPs - KHl x Pp) H scale Vertical KV2tPs - KVl x Pp) V scale KH2 - correction value for horizontal posi~ion of the secondary glint.
Ps - position of secondary glint.
XHl - correction value for the horizontal posi-tion of the primary glint.
Pp - position of primary glint.
H scale - pxovides the horizontal direction of the scan + or - 1.
V scale ~ provides the vertical direction of the scan ~ or - 1.
KV2 - correction value for the vertical position of the secondary glint.
KVl - correction value for the vertical position of the primary primary glint.
The KH2 and KV2 constants are preferably determined for each subject and correct for variances in the shape of the respective corneas. To obtain the correction value, the subjec~ is asked to look at nine points (3 x 3) on a television screen as the li~ht source reflects off the cornea of the subject. The position of the reflected ~lint provides a cursor which moves on the television screen where the nine points are displayed. The amount of deviation of the cursor ~rom ~he point which the subject is asked to view is automatically fed to the computer and provides the correction value.
Similarly, the ~Hl and KVl are determined.
A subject is asked to fix his gaze on a poin~ and to rotate the head. The amount of movement of the cursor which corresponds to the movement of the fixed reflec-tor provides the correction value for the position of tha primary glint. This determination need not ~e made for each subject as an average correction value can be obtained and used in the system.
The receiver is shown in greater detail in Fig. 1. It includes a tube 30 which is preferably light absorbing as, for example, by being painted black. The tube is connected to the fiber optic image guide 25 at its outlet end 31. The tube has an opening 33 on which a housing 34 is mountedO The housing 34 contains the fixed reflector which is in the form of a glass dome 35. The glass dome has a generally spherical surface which approximates the surface of a corneaO The glass dome cooperates with a first reflector 36, a second reflector 37 and a beam lS splitter 38 to reflect the primary glint to a lens 39 adjacent the input end of the fiber optic image guide.
The tube has another opening 40 throug~.
which the secondary glint from the cornea passes. A
single mirror 41 directs the secondary glint through the beam splitter 38 and lens 39 to the fiber optic image guide 25.
The mirror 41 is pivotally mounted on an axis 43 within the tube. It can be rotated slightl~
by a horizontal screw 44 which engages the mirror 41.
The adjustability of the mirror provides a gross adjustment to find the glint when the subject is in place.
A vertical screw engages threads in one end of the tube 30 to raise and lower it so as to provide 93'~k for a vertical adjustment to "find the glint" when the subject is in place.
A lens 45 is employed to transmit the glint images from the image ~uide 25 to the video camera tube 26.
The operation of the invention will be described in relation to a market research project involving a print such 25 is depicted at 47 in Fig. 3.
The print will be divided into zones, for example 53, 54 and 55, corresponding to the images within the print. The coordinates of those zones will be entered in the computer. The object will be to determine the percentage of the people who note each zone, the percentage of people who note each zone first and the percentage of p~ople who reexamine any zone.
The subject is first placed before a televi-sion screen having the nine positions displayed for the purpose of calibration. The subjec~ is asked to view each point and the devlation of the cursor with respect to each point is entered into the computer for the purpose of satisfying the compensation equation discussed above.
The calibration having been completed, the print is displayed to the subject for a predetermined period of time. As the gaze of the subject moves from point to point, the secondary glint, reflected ~hrough the mirrors and image guide, is transmitted to the video camera tube. Similarly, the primary glint which corresponds to any head movement is transmitted to the ~L1~3~.~
video camera tube~ $hat data is entered in the computer which provides the compensating computation in accordance with the equations to store the informa-tion as to when the gaze fell upon the designated zones of the print and how long the gaze remained in any one zone.
After a preselected number of subjects have viewed the print under substantially identical condi-tions, the computer will provide a printout to printer 46 setting forth the percentage of people who noted any zone, percentage of people who noted a zone first, and the percentage of people who reexamined a zone.
If desired, a second video camera 50 may be employed and connected to the eye track computer ,, through a gen loc circuit 51. A TV screen 52 can then be used to produce simultaneously the print projected onto the screen 11 as well as the positions of the subject' 5 gaze as it moves about the print. Thus, the eye movement can be visually monitored for demonstra-tion purposes and the like but is not necessary as apart of the regular maxket research activity.
