Abstract

The invention is related to a method and arrangement for calibrating the camera of an eye tracking device and compensate for a potential angular offset of the camera. The method comprises: the steps of capturing an eye image of a user, wherein the eye image contains a plurality of glints created by a plurality of illuminators in the eye tracking system; detecting glints in the eye image; projecting illuminator positions onto the eye image to determine expected glint positions; determining an angular offset between expected glint positions and detected glint positions for corresponding pairs of expected and detected glint positions; determining the angular correction for the eye tracking camera using the determined angular offset angle; and applying the angular correction for the eye tracking camera to an eye tracker camera model.
