Well annotated databases are needed in order to allow benchmarking of the available- and new pupil detection and gaze estimation algorithms. Unfortunately, creation of such a data set is costly and requires a lot of efforts, including manual work of the annotators. In addition, reliability of manual annotations is hard to establish with a low number of annotators. In order to facilitate progress of the gaze tracking algorithm research, we created an online pupil annotation tool that engages many users to interact through gamification and allows utilization of the crowd power to create reliable annotations \cite{artstein2005bias}. We describe the tool and the mechanisms employed, and report results on the annotation of a publicly available data set. Finally, we demonstrate an example utilization of the new high-quality annotation on a comparison of two state-of-the-art pupil center algorithms.}, number={1}, journal={Human Computation}, author={Gil de Gómez Pérez, David and Bednarik, Roman}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={176-191} }
