Eye image data with gaze labels recorded using custom video-oculography hardware at 120Hz

The repository of eye image data with corresponding gaze labels collected from 40 subjects. The preview contains a collage of random image samples, one per subject. 

All recorded subjects gave informed consent under an experimental protocol approved by the Institutional Research Board of Texas State University (approval code 2018044) and their data were anonymized prior to public release.

The data were recorded using the custom video-oculography (VOG) desktop hardware setup at 120Hz. The full description of this eye-tracking system's capabilities is provided at https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1904.07361.

This VOG set contains recordings of the random oblique saccades task. It is comprised of 174 on-screen fixation targets that densely cover the range of ±20.51° horizontally and ±16.7° vertically (in degrees of visual angle). More detail on the presented stimuli can be found at https://doi.org/10.1145/3379156.3391370.

The data were also used in Dmytro Katrychuk's Ph.D. thesis "Generating Realistic Eye Images to Evaluate Photosensor Oculography Eye-Tracking for Portable Headsets" (https://hdl.handle.net/10877/19437); with the release for public use in the upcoming publication "An appearance-based gaze estimation as a benchmark for eye image data generation methods" accepted to MDPI Journal of Applied Sciences. 

Each .zip archive represents a recording from one subject, which includes:

Video of the close eye capture in ".avi" format

Calibration data in ".xml" format

Gaze data in ".tsv" format

On-screen target stimulus position in ".tsv" format

The "src.zip" provides a Python script to unpack each ".avi" video recording to a set of ".png" images. The direct playback of ".avi"s may require special codecs and is not supported. 

Any additional code will be uploaded to https://github.com/dkatrychuk/psog-eval-diss2023
