EyeInfo

The EyeInfo Dataset is an open-source eye-tracking dataset created by Fabricio Batista Narcizo, a research scientist at the IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) and GN Audio A/S (Jabra), Denmark. This dataset was introduced in the paper "High-Accuracy Gaze Estimation for Interpolation-Based Eye-Tracking Methods" (DOI: 10.3390/vision5030041). The dataset contains high-speed monocular eye-tracking data from an off-the-shelf remote eye tracker using active illumination. The data from each user has a text file with data annotations of eye features, environment, viewed targets, and facial features. This dataset follows the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We have built a remote eye tracker with off-the-shelf components to collect the real eye-tracking data. The collected data contain binocular eye information from 83 participants (166 trials), with the following annotations: frame number, target ID, timestamp, viewed target coordinates, pupil center, the major/minor axes and angle orientation of fitted ellipse, and four enumerated corneal reflections’ coordinates. We have extracted the eye features from recorded eye videos using a feature-based eye-tracking method (i.e., binarization+fitting ellipse), and the raw data are available on individual annotated text files (CSV). The raw dataset contains outliers due to blinks, light reflections, missing glints, and low contrast between the iris and pupil.
