Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / One of the biggest hurdles to the development of an effective driver state monitor is the that there is no real-time eye-gaze detection. This is primarily due to the fact that such systems require calibration. In this thesis the various aspects that comprise an eye gaze tracker are investigated. From that we developed an eye gaze tracker for automobiles that does not require calibration. We used a monocular camera system with IR light sources placed in each of the three mirrors. The camera system created the bright-pupil effect for robust pupil detection and tracking. We developed an SVM based algorithm for initial eye candidate detection; after that the eyes were tracked using a hybrid Kalman/Mean-shift algorithm. From the tracked pupils, various features such as the location of the glints (reflections in the pupil from the IR light sources) were extracted. This information is then fed into a Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN). The GRNN then maps this information into one of thirteen gaze regions in the vehicle.

Malinovská, Z.: Nature as an inspiration of creative explorations at nursery school. [The assignment] Prague 2014, Charles University, Faculty of Education, Department of Art, p. 113 The assignment has a special reconnaissance probes . Its aim is to help to the improvement of teaching practice of kindergarten teachers in preschool education . The survey is designed to give an update on implementation and long-term stereotypes about completed art activities for which the main inspiration is the nature. The expected outcome will be proposals of art programs for preschool children, which will be based on results of the research . I tried to find suggestions for processing proposals at the history and present of Fine Arts. The history of art was conceived as a bridge between theory and practice with examples of inspiration for nursery school teachers from every period. The focus of the assignment is the implementation and processing of proposals of art programs, their experimental verification and subsequent didactic reflection.
