Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Many traffic accidents occur when a driver looks aside or fails to confirm the safety while driving. They could be prevented by using driver’s gaze direction. To measure correct gaze directions, a calibration process is needed for a gaze tracking system. This is usually achieved by a process which makes a user gaze at specified reference
points. However, this is a troublesome task for users. We have previously proposed a method for automatic calibration of an in-vehicle gaze tracking system. The method uses the rear-view and the side-view mirror positions as reference points for the calibration process and estimates the gaze directions at a time when the driver looks at the mirrors from gaze direction data during driving. This method, however, fails to achieve accurate calibration when the method could not estimate them correctly. To overcome this problem, we propose a method using a condition
based on the positional relation between gaze targets. The calibration process is performed only when the estimated directions meet the condition. The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated by experiments on three drivers’ gaze direction data collected while actual driving.
