7.4 High Speed Event Detection
In the High Speed Event Detection method, Saccade is selected as
primary event. The Built-In Detector will first search for saccade
events, using a velocity based algorithm. Blinks and fixations are
computed and derived from the primary saccade events.
Saccade Detection
From the gaze stream all velocities are calculated. From all velocities the
peaks are detected. A peak is defined as the peak value of velocities
above the Peak Threshold [º/s]. The peak could indicate a saccade, but
as we are not sure, yet, we call it saccade-like event. To detect the start
of the saccade-like event, we search for the first velocity to the left which
is lower than the fixation velocity threshold. To detect the end of the
saccade-like event, we search for the first velocity to the right which is
lower than the fixation velocity threshold. The fixation velocity threshold is
an internal value calculated from the first peak less velocities of the
velocity stream. We assume the saccade-like event a real saccade, if
a)
the distance between start and end exceeds the Minimum Saccade
Duration [ms] and
b)
the single peak value lies in the range of 20% to 80% of the distance
between start and end
