Abstract: The non-linearity of a rosette scanning process causes the non-linearity of target sampling which may account for the considerable calculation cost and large errors of the traditional methods. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new approach based on Green’s theorem for computing center of gravity in rosette scanning. Only the samples on the boundary are used for computing the center of gravity of a target; therefore, the method can eliminate the disadvantage of non-linearity in a rosette pattern. Theoretical analysis and simulation demonstrate that the calculation error by this method is smaller than that of the weight gravity method and the cost is reduced by 90%. In addition, this method can also be used in image-based gaze tracking and other similar methods to improve accuracy and speed.
