In the modern age of information, there is a growing interest in improving interaction between humans and computers in an unremitting attempt to render it as seamless as the interaction between humans. In the core of this endeavor are the study of the human face and the focus of attention, determined by the eye gaze. The main objective of the current thesis is to develop accurate and reliable methods for extracting facial information, localizing the positions of the eye centers and performing tracking of the eye gaze. Usually such systems are grounded upon various assumptions regarding the topology of the features and the camera parameters or require dedicated hardware. In the regard of ubiquitous computing, ... toggle 7 keywords
