bust againt the changes in illumination. Addition-
ally, we introduced Laplacian Eigenmaps and spec-
tral clustering which help to learn about the “mani-
fold structure” of eye movement and give an efficient
calibration phase. With limited number of trainning
samples, the system can provides a quick prediction
even when the number of calibration samples is lim-
ited. The efficiency and reasonable accuracy can help
to provide a real-time application.
