Object-gaze distance: Quantifying near-peripheral gaze behavior in real-world applications by Felix Wang, Julian Wolf, Mazda Farshad, Mirko Meboldt, Quentin Lohmeyer

“…We propose an algorithmic enhancement to a state-of-the-art ET analysis method, the Object-Gaze Distance (OGD), which additionally allows the quantification of near-peripheral gaze behavior in complex real-world environments. The algorithm uses machine learning for area of interest (AOI) detection and computes the minimal 2D Euclidean pixel distance to the gaze point, creating a continuous gaze-based time-series. …”
