Abstract

An equipment to support the medical diagnosis and the studies of human balance in real time is being developed. This equipment is based on a recent technique which quantifies the movement of the eyes based on digital image processing. During the development of the equipment, modifications to the original algorithm were applied to improve its performance, since a faster camera is being used. The purpose of this work is to show the improvements applied to this fast algorithm. These improvements are intended to decrease even more the processing time.
