Objective : The purpose of this experimental-controlled study was to investigate the characteristics of the autonomic nervous system in students with Keongke by using HRV(Heart rate variability) and PSV(Pupil size variability). Method : The study group was consisted of 11 students with self recognition as the experimental group, and 25 normal students as the control group. Informations on gender and age were obtained by medical charts and personal interviews. By using heart rate variability and pupil size variability, we measured the value of HRT(Heart rate), SDNN(Standard deviation of NN intervals), LFnorm(Low frequency normalization), HFnorm(High frequency normalization), LF/HF ratio, Pupil area, B.S.(Basic size), C.R.(Max Constriction Rate) and 1s.d.(1sec Dilation Rate). I compared the degrees of the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. Result : 1. In the result of heart rate variability between experimental and control group, none of the parameters of experimental group were significantly different from control group. And even though there were no statistical significance, there were some numerical differences in SDNN, LF norm, HF norm. 2. In pupil size variability, C.R. and 1s.d. of the experimental group were increased compared to control group. Conclusion : The study results suggest that the group with Keongke has differences of autonomic nervous system as compared to those in normal state. Measurement value of PSV is a new technical approach to estimate the autonomic nervous system.

목적: 근시안에서 암순응상태의 동공크기를 측정하여 분석해 보고 이에 영향을 주는 요인에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 안과적 질환이 없는 근시안 191명(191안)을 대상으로 암순응상태에서 동공측정계(Colvard pupillometer, OASIS medical, USA)를 사용하여 동공의 크기를 측정하였고 연령, 각막크기, 등가구면 굴절이상도, 각막곡률값과 비교분석하였다. 또한, 동공측정계의 재현성을 알아보기 위해 검사자내(intra-examiner) 및 검사자간(inter-examiner)에서의 측정값을 비교하였다. 결과: 암순응상태에서의 평균동공크기는 $6.64{\pm}0.68$ mm(5.00~8.00 mm)였고, 연령이 낮고 각막크기가 클수록 동공크기는 커지는 경향을 보였고 등가구면 굴절이상도가 낮고 각막곡률이 가파를수록 동공크기가 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 동공측정계의 검사자내 및 검사자간에서의 재현성은 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다(Guttman split-half point>0.91). 결론: 암순응상태에서의 동공크기는 연령, 각막크기, 등가구면 굴절이상도, 각막곡률과 관련 있었으며, RGP 콘택트렌즈나 백내장 수술, 굴절교정수술 등에서 발생할 수 있는 불편함을 예방하는데 참고할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In this paper, we will introduce the image processing methods for the remote pupillary light reflex measurement using the video taken by a general smartphone camera without a special device such as an infrared camera. We propose an algorithm for estimate the size of the pupil that changes with light using image data analysis without a learning process. In addition, we will introduce the results of visualizing the change in the pupil size by removing noise from the recorded data of the pupil size measured for each frame of the video. We expect that this study will contribute to the construction of an objective indicator for remote pupillary light reflex measurement in the situation where non-face-to-face communication has become common due to COVID-19 and the demand for remote diagnosis is increasing.

Pupil size variation can not be controlled intentionally by the user and includes various features such as the blinking frequency and the duration of a blink, so it is suitable for understanding the user's emotional state. In addition, an ocular feature based emotion classification method should be studied for virtual and augmented reality, which is expected to be applied to various fields. In this paper, we propose a novel emotion classification based on CNN with pupil size variation signals which include not only various ocular feature information but also time information. As a result, compared to previous studies using the same database, the proposed method showed improved results of 5.99% and 12.98% respectively from arousal and valence emotion classification.

Objectives : The purpose of this research is to verify the effects of the Electromagnetic acupuncture(EMA) on BL15 by Pupil size variability(PSV) which is directly related to the activation of the Autonomic Nervous System. Methods : Thirty male subjects participated in this study and were divided into three groups(non-stimulated, manual acupuncture and EMA group). The size of pupil was measured in the cube place of $60{\times}60{\times}60$ cm in order to avoid the effect of the surrounding circumstances. All subjects were measured the size of left pupil about 200sec in the constant illumination. Results : We observed the decrease in PSV of manual acupuncture group compared to non-stimulation group, but it was not significant statistically(p>0.05). The decrease in PSV of EMA group was observed in comparison to two groups, and we confirmed the result of significant difference statistically(p<0.05). Conclusions : We concluded that EMA treatment method is enough to activate in the parasympathetic nerve system by inducing the biotransformation.

The size of a display is large, The form becoming various of that do not apply to previous methods of gaze tracking and if setup gaze-track-camera above display, can solve the problem of size or height of display. However, This method can not use of infrared illumination information of reflected cornea using previous methods. In this paper, Robust pupil detecting method for eye's occlusion, corner point of inner eye and center of pupil, and using the face pose information proposes a method for calculating the simply position of the gaze. In the proposed method, capture the frame for gaze tracking that according to position of person transform camera mode of wide or narrow angle. If detect the face exist in field of view(FOV) in wide mode of camera, transform narrow mode of camera calculating position of face. The frame captured in narrow mode of camera include gaze direction information of person in long distance. The method for calculating the gaze direction consist of face pose estimation and gaze direction calculating step. Face pose estimation is estimated by mapping between feature point of detected face and 3D model. To calculate gaze direction the first, perform ellipse detect using splitting from iris edge information of pupil and if occlusion of pupil, estimate position of pupil with deformable template. Then using center of pupil and corner point of inner eye, face pose information calculate gaze position at display. In the experiment, proposed gaze tracking algorithm in this paper solve the constraints that form of a display, to calculate effectively gaze direction of person in the long distance using single camera, demonstrate in experiments by distance.

Eye gaze as a form of input was primarily developed for users who are unable to use usual interaction devices such as keyboard and the mouse; however, with the increasing accuracy in eye gaze detection with decreasing cost of development, it tends to be a practical interaction method for able-bodied users in soon future as well. This paper explores a low-cost, robust, rotation and illumination independent eye gaze system for gaze enhanced user interfaces. We introduce two brand-new algorithms for fast and sub-pixel precise pupil center detection and 2D Eye Gaze estimation by means of deformable template matching methodology. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm based on the deformable angular integral search algorithm based on minimum intensity value to localize eyeball (iris outer boundary) in gray scale eye region images. Basically, it finds the center of the pupil in order to use it in our second proposed algorithm which is about 2D eye gaze tracking. First, we detect the eye regions by means of Intel OpenCV AdaBoost Haar cascade classifiers and assign the approximate size of eyeball depending on the eye region size. Secondly, using DAISMI (Deformable Angular Integral Search by Minimum Intensity) algorithm, pupil center is detected. Then, by using the percentage of black pixels over eyeball circle area, we convert the image into binary (Black and white color) for being used in the next part: DTBGE (Deformable Template based 2D Gaze Estimation) algorithm. Finally, using DTBGE algorithm, initial pupil center coordinates are assigned and DTBGE creates new pupil center coordinates and estimates the final gaze directions and eyeball size. We have performed extensive experiments and achieved very encouraging results. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed method through several experimental results.

본 연구는 거짓말 탐지 시 정서적 각성 및 인지적 부하가 동공 크기 변화에 미치는 영향을 확인했다. 총 60명 모집 후, 참가자가 자발적으로 집단을 선택했다. 유죄 집단(n = 30)은 모의 범죄(현금 훔치기)를 수행하고, 무죄 집단(n = 30)은 연구 조교 사무실에서 임무(메시지 보내기)를 수행했다. 그 후, 거짓말 탐지 면담 질문 중에 웨어러블 아이트래커를 사용하여 동공 크기를 측정했다. 면담 질문은 인지적 부하 질문 3개, 정서적 각성 질문 3개, 중립 질문 3개로 구성되었다. 실험 결과, 집단이나 시간의 주효과는 유의미하게 나타나지 않았으나, 집단과 시간의 상호작용은 유의미하게 나타났다. 즉, 동공 크기에 기반한 거짓말 탐지 시 인지적 부하 질문에 응답 할 때 유죄 집단이 무죄 집단 보다 동공 크기가 더 크게 증가했다. 이는 동공 크기를 기반한 거짓말 탐지 시 인지 부하를 유도하는 것이 정서적 각성을 유발하는 것보다 효과적임을 시사한다.
