Eye Tracking Technology Bass Fishing

[YourBassIsGrass]

I think that at the very least providing a hypothesis to your thesis would be a good starting point. Are you looking to change a lure to become more attractive? Or would the basis of the study to understand whether eye tracking can be used at all?

If you are going for the latter, you could start with getting an eye tracking system to at the very least recognize a fish eye and 'lock' onto it to start tracking.

As stated earlier, most fish, including bass, cannot constrict/dilate their pupils and they also adjust their focus differently than a human. Not sure how you would need to configure your recognition software to compensate. If you would be able to create an application that would be able to perform the very basics of eye tracking on fish you would have a decent thesis. Application of the findings (determining the attractiveness of items in front of a fish) would be a bigger step, but probably just as lengthy a goal.

Congrats to thinking outside the box. I wish you well with your research, it sounds interesting, no telling what you might discover.
