Highlights► We not only state bright pupil effect, but also illustrate the influence of wavelength on this kind of phenomenon, which other papers about pupil detection based on active infrared illumination hardly mentioned. ► Face-pupil detection order in our paper can eliminate fake pupil candidate points, saving much time compared with detecting pupils directly. ► The combination of SVM and correlation matching, which is brought up for the first time, utilizes the great classification function of SVM as well as the symmetrical relation of two eyes in the same face, performing well in pupil detection. ► With Kalman forecast and face area marking, the time complexity of pupil detection can be decreased effectively. ► To test our pupil detection and tracking method, a series of experiments are conducted, and the experimental results show that this new method behaves great under various illumination or lager-scale head motion, and this new method can handle occlusion, face rotation, glasses interference and pupil detection for multiple people successfully.
