METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERSONALIZED EYE BLINK DETECTION

Unlike state of art eye blink detection techniques that are generalized for usage across individuals affecting accuracy of eye blink prediction from subject to subject, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for personalized eye blink detection using passive camera-based approach. The method first generates a subject specific annotation data, which is then further processed to derive subject specific personalized blink threshold values. The method disclosed provides three unique approaches to compute the personalized blink threshold values which is one time calibration process. The personalized blink threshold values are then used to generate a binary decision vector (D) while analyzing input test images (video sequences) of the subject of interest. Further, values taken by elements of the decision vector (D) are analyzed for a predefined time period to predict possible eye blinks of the subject.
