Non-invasive eye tracking technology based on corneal reflex by Di GAO, Gui-sheng YIN, Chun-guang MA

“…For the deficiencies that existing eye tracking devices are complex,have too many restrictions on the position,need to wear special equipment.A novel method of eye tracking technology using the five near-infrared light as the source of corneal reflex was put forward.This method did not need any wearing equipment,and could adapt to the natural head movement,the algorithm designed calculates the position of sight in high accuracy.A novel method of pupil edge fitting was put forward:fitted circularly and removed false points to get accurate position of pupil center,improved mapping accuracy.Used the GrayScale of image to initialize eye position quickly and accurately.Using the theory of cross-ratio invariance to make coordinate mapping,finally calculated the attention coordinate accurately.…”

Research on data encryption system and technology for cloud storage by Peiyi HAN, Chuanyi LIU, Jiahui WANG, Shaoming DUAN, Hezhong PAN, Binxing FANG

“…To order to address the problem of cloud storage data security,the generic proxy-based data protection system was proposed,which could automatically and transparently secure sensitive data in browser-based cloud storage applications.A novel dynamic program analysis technique was adopted based on JavaScript API function hooking for automatically extending to various cloud applications.And a novel proxy executed searchable encryption solution was presented so that it could achieve data encryption while maintaining the original functions of cloud applications.Experimental results show that the system can support a variety of typical cloud services,effectively protect sensitive data,and bring a relatively low overhead.…”
