A System for Noncontact Estimation of Cognitive Load Using Saccadic Parameters Based on a Serio-Parallel Computing Framework

This paper proposes a system which uses a three-stage serio-parallel video-oculographic framework for computing the saccadic eye parameters to indicate the amount of cognitive loading. The three stages are null viz., null face and eye detection, iris and eye corner localization, and finally saccadic parameter computation. Since saccades are fast movements of the eyeballs, accurate estimation of these parameters requires high frame rates of...
