Enhancing Eye Movement Biometrics for User Authentication via Continuous Gaze Offset Score Fusion

Eye movement biometrics (EMB) use subject-specific gaze dynamics for user authentication and identification. Recent deep learning-based EMB systems achieve strong performance by modeling temporal eye movement behavior. However, these systems typically overlook continuous gaze offset, despite prior evidence that it contains user-discriminative information. This work examines whether continuous gaze offset can improve biometric performance when combined with existing biometric features. We evaluate linear and nonlinear fusion methods on two publicly available datasets, collected via the lab-grade eye tracker and virtual reality headset across multiple tasks and observation durations. Results indicate that fusion offers performance benefits on both datasets, particularly when using nonlinear fusion. Additionally, fusing biometric information across multiple tasks further improves authentication performance. These findings support the hypothesis that continuous gaze offset may serve as useful auxiliary information under conditions of degraded or noisy eye tracking.

An Assessment of the Eye Tracking Signal Quality Captured in the HoloLens 2

We present an analysis of the eye tracking signal quality of the HoloLens 2s integrated eye tracker. Signal quality was measured from eye movement data captured during a random saccades task from a new eye movement dataset collected on 30 healthy adults. We characterize the eye tracking signal quality of the device in terms of spatial accuracy, spatial precision, temporal precision, linearity, and crosstalk. Most notably, our evaluation of spatial accuracy reveals that the eye movement data in our dataset appears to be uncalibrated. Recalibrating the data using a subset of our dataset task produces notably better eye tracking signal quality.

Benefits of temporal information for appearance-based gaze estimation

State-of-the-art appearance-based gaze estimation methods, usually based on deep learning techniques, mainly rely on static features. However, temporal trace of eye gaze contains useful information for estimating a given gaze point. For example, approaches leveraging sequential eye gaze information when applied to remote or low-resolution image scenarios with off-the-shelf cameras are showing promising results. The magnitude of contribution from temporal gaze trace is yet unclear for higher resolution/frame rate imaging systems, in which more detailed information about an eye is captured. In this paper, we investigate whether temporal sequences of eye images, captured using a high-resolution, high-frame rate head-mounted virtual reality system, can be leveraged to enhance the accuracy of an end-to-end appearance-based deep-learning model for gaze estimation. Performance is compared against a static-only version of the model. Results demonstrate statistically-significant benefits of temporal information, particularly for the vertical component of gaze.

Biometric Performance as a Function of Gallery Size

Many developers of biometric systems start with modest samples before general deployment. They are interested in how their systems will work with much larger samples. We evaluated the effect of gallery size on biometric performance. Identification rates describe the performance of biometric identification, whereas ROC-based measures describe the performance of biometric authentication (verification). Therefore, we examined how increases in gallery size affected identification rates (i.e., Rank-1 Identification Rate, or Rank-1 IR) and ROC-based measures such as equal error rate (EER). We studied these phenomena with synthetic data as well as real data from a face recognition study. It is well known that the Rank-1 IR declines with increasing gallery size. We have provided further insight into this decline. We have shown that this relationship is linear in log(Gallery Size). We have also shown that this decline can be counteracted with the inclusion of additional information (features) for larger gallery sizes. We have also described the curves which can be used to predict how much additional information is required to stabilize the Rank-1 IR as a function of gallery size. These equations are also linear in log(gallery size). We have also shown that the entire ROC curve is not systematically affected by gallery size, and so ROC-based scalar performance metrics such as EER are also stable across gallery size.

OpenEDS2020: Open Eyes Dataset

We present the second edition of OpenEDS dataset, OpenEDS2020, a novel dataset of eye-image sequences captured at a frame rate of 100 Hz under controlled illumination, using a virtual-reality head-mounted display mounted with two synchronized eye-facing cameras. The dataset, which is anonymized to remove any personally identifiable information on participants, consists of 80 participants of varied appearance performing several gaze-elicited tasks, and is divided in two subsets: 1) Gaze Prediction Dataset, with up to 66,560 sequences containing 550,400 eye-images and respective gaze vectors, created to foster research in spatio-temporal gaze estimation and prediction approaches; and 2) Eye Segmentation Dataset, consisting of 200 sequences sampled at 5 Hz, with up to 29,500 images, of which 5% contain a semantic segmentation label, devised to encourage the use of temporal information to propagate labels to contiguous frames. Baseline experiments have been evaluated on OpenEDS2020, one for each task, with average angular error of 5.37 degrees when performing gaze prediction on 1 to 5 frames into the future, and a mean intersection over union score of 84.1% for semantic segmentation. As its predecessor, OpenEDS dataset, we anticipate that this new dataset will continue creating opportunities to researchers in eye tracking, machine learning and computer vision communities, to advance the state of the art for virtual reality applications. The dataset is available for download upon request at http://research.fb.com/programs/openeds-2020-challenge/.

Why Temporal Persistence of Biometric Features is so Valuable for Classification Performance

It is generally accepted that relatively more permanent (i.e., more temporally persistent) traits are more valuable for biometric performance than less permanent traits. Although this finding is intuitive, there is no current work identifying exactly where in the biometric analysis temporal persistence makes a difference. In this paper, we answer this question. In a recent report, we introduced the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) as an index of temporal persistence for such features. In that report, we also showed that choosing only the most temporally persistent features yielded superior performance in 12 of 14 datasets. Motivated by those empirical results, we present a novel approach using synthetic features to study which aspects of a biometric identification study are influenced by the temporal persistence of features. What we show is that using more temporally persistent features produces effects on the similarity score distributions that explain why this quality is so key to biometric performance. The results identified with the synthetic data are largely reinforced by an analysis of two datasets, one based on eye-movements and one based on gait. There was one difference between the synthetic and real data: In real data, features are intercorrelated, with the level of intercorrelation increasing with increasing ICC. This increasedhttps://www.overleaf.com/project/5e2b14694c5dc600017292e6 intercorrelation in real data was associated with an increase in the spread of the impostor similarity score distributions. Removing these intercorrelations for real datasets with a decorrelation step produced results which were very similar to that obtained with synthetic features.
