# Eye keypoints#

## Overview#

The ground truth exposed in this modality is a set of eye keypoints using a standard developed by Datagen.

This modality consists of the following file:

Relevant file

Location

Scene folder

This file contains information on the subject’s eyes, in two parts:

• The 3D and 2D coordinates of a set of eye landmarks defined by Datagen.

• Information about the direction of gaze, including normalized vectors and the target of the gaze in 3D coordinates.

The file uses the following format:

"apex_of_cornea_point": {
// 3D and 2D coordinates of the apex of the cornea.
},
"center_of_rotation_point": {
// 3D and 2D coordinates of the eyeball's center of rotation.
},
"iris_circle": {
// 3D and 2D coordinates of 12 keypoints that define the circle of the iris.
},
"center_of_iris_point": {
// 3D and 2D coordinates of the center of the iris.
},
"pupil_circle": {
// 3D and 2D coordinates of 12 keypoints that define the circle of the pupil.
},
"center_of_pupil_point": {
// 3D and 2D coordinates of the center of the pupil.
},
"eye_gaze": {
// Detailed information about the direction in which the subject is looking
},
"eyelid_closure_intensity_level": 1


Note

### Objects and fields:#

• apex_of_cornea_point: Object. This object contains the 3D coordinates of the apex (the highest point) of the cornea in global coordinates, as well as the 2D coordinates of that point in each of the datapoints you generated in the scene. The object uses the following structure, in which all 2D coordinate values <2D-coordinates> are of type Int and all 3D coordinate values <3D-coordinates> are of type Float:

"apex_of_cornea_point": {
"2d": {
"camera_1": {
"right_eye": {
"x": 80,
"y": 911
},
"left_eye": {

"x": 100,
"y": 563
},

The center of the pupil is a crucial part of determining the optical axis vector, which is the direction that a person appears to be looking from the point of view of an external observer.

• eye_gaze: Object. This object contains information on where the subject is looking, presented in three ways:

• axis_directions: Object. This object contains the normalized optical and visual axis vectors for each eye.

The optical axis vector is the direction that the subject appears to be looking from the point of view of an external observer. It is calculated using the following formula:

$optical~axis~direction = apex~of~cornea~point - center~of~pupil~point$

The visual axis vector is the direction that the subject is actually looking. (The direction of this vector is always very slightly offset from the direction of the optical axis vector.) The visual axis vector is calculated using the following formula:

$visual~axis~direction = center~of~rotation~point - fovea~point$

The optical and visual axis vectors are presented using this format:

"right_eye": {
"axis_directions": {
"visual_axis_direction": {
"x": 0.014786778155726103,

• eyelid_closure_intensity_level: Int. This object describes how much the subject’s eyes are closed, on a scale of 1 (completely open) to 5 (completely closed).
