Abstract

In this paper an on-line method is proposed for statistical evaluation of dynamic web advertisements via measuring their visit frequencies. To minimize the required user-interaction, the eye movements are tracked by a special eye camera, and the hits on advertisements are automatically recognized. The detection step is mapped to a 2D template matching problem, and novel algorithms are developed to significantly decrease the processing time, via excluding quickly most of the false hit-candidates. We show that due to the improvements the method runs in real time in the context of the selected application. The solution has been validated on real test data and quantitave results have been provided to show the gain in recognition rate and processing time versus previous approaches.
