Presentation Overview • Project Overview • Zachary Harvey • Typical Operation / Sensors • Rob Laiacona • System Overview • Lowren Lawson • TI Divinci DM355 / Possible Problems • Piyush Agarwal • Prior Work / Power Requirements • Lowren Lawson • Multidisciplinary Components / Societal Impact / Power requirements • Zachary Harvey • Testing / System Integration/Alternatives/Costs • Rob Laiacona
EXISTING SYSTEM PC53XS scene camera PC206XP eye camera IR LED http://www.cis.rit.edu/pelz/publications/ETRA04_babcock_pelz.pdf
PROBLEMS WITH THE EXISTING SYSTEM • Video Synchronization • Video Cutout • Data Processing • New Eye Tracking Algorithm • Power Management • Monitoring • Too Bulky • Offline analysis restriction
CUSTOMER WANTS • Basic Level • Synchronized 30 FPS video • LCD screen display • Four hour video storage • Simple Interface • 8 hours storage / battery • More Advanced Features • Control Wirelessly • Storage via H.264 • Video multiplexing
Typical Operation • Subjects are taken outdoors / indoors in daylight • Operation in fair weather • Subjects are instructed to hike and climb
Sensors • Cameras • CMOS • Analog NTSC encoded video stream • ~30 FPS to capture all eye movement PC53XS scene camera PC206XP eye camera IR LED
System Startup • Startup Self Test • Determine number of cameras • Determine battery power • Storage Space • LCD test • Enter standby mode • Wait for input
Leopard Board • TI DM355 • MPEG4 Coprocessor • Arm GPP (270 MHz) • TI DM365 • MPEG4 / H.264
Problems • Leopard Board interfacing • Processing Expense • Packaging
Problems (Leopard Board Interface) • Digitizing two video streams • Breakout board needed • Getting drivers to work properly • Power consumption • Mitigation • Switching platforms to a more powerful SBC
Problems (Processing Expense) • MPEG4 / H.264 video compression is computationally expensive • Hardware capable of processing is expensive • SBC solution ~500 - 1000$ • Mitigation • Leopard Board (~100$) • Limited to one stream / MPEG4
Problems (Packaging) • System must be durable • Subjects are told to climb / hike outdoors • Connections must be secure • System must be low power • System runs off of 7.2V 4000 mAH battery • Heat dissipation • Mitigation • Locking connectors • Low power parts • Enclosure
PRIOR WORK • Applied Science Laboratory EYE TRAC • Expensive • openEye Open Source • Poor recording capabilities • RIT Multidisciplinary Project • Poor software implementation • Windows XP + Lab View • More research needs to be done on what went wrong • NASA eye tracking device • Works specifically with their equipment • Not commercially available
Power Requirements • User would like 4-8 hours of operation • Using 7.2 4000 mAH battery • Leopard board will last 4-5 hours
Multidisciplinary Components • Electrical Engineering • Power consumption • Imaging Science • Computer Science • Packaging Science
SOCIETAL IMPACT • Visual Perception Research • Commercial Advertising • Medical Research • Academic Strategies
Testing Procedure • Video Stream Testing • Power Consumption Testing • Regression Testing • Interface testing
System Integration • Initially VGA camera module will be used for input • Data will be recorded to SD card • Once Video can be acquired, the NTSC streams will be used
Alternative Approaches • SBC • Easy but expensive • Reverse engineer existing video capture device • Fully Custom Platform
