`ABSTRACT
`
`A pupil detection device includes an image data extraction unit for determining a
`
`plurality of concentric circles on an eye image respectively as integrating circles; a contour
`
`integrating unit for integrating the image data extracted by the image data extraction unit
`
`along the respective circumferences of the integrating circles; a pupil radius detection unit
`
`for detecting that the integrated value of the integrating circle has changed stepwise; a
`
`pupil position detection unit for detecting that the center coordinates of the integrating circle
`
`as pupil position coordinates when the integrated value of the integrating circle is changed
`
`stepwise with respect to the radius of the integrating circle, and the image data extraction
`
`unit extracts a plurality of image data simultaneously.
