Notes

The paper reports 20,666,096 open- or closed-eye frames and also 200,977 no-eye frames, collected with seven trackers. It documents anonymous FTP access at nephrit.cs.uni-tuebingen.de using user TEyeDUser, but does not state a standard dataset license; confirm availability and terms before use.

Access preflight and acquisition

CLI

# Read-only preflight
eyehub download teyed --data-dir ./data --dry-run --json

# Explicit transfer, only when preflight reports supported behavior
eyehub download teyed --data-dir ./data

Python

from eyedatahub.acquisition import preflight_dataset
from eyedatahub.datasets.registry import REGISTRY

ds = REGISTRY.get_dataset('teyed')
print(preflight_dataset(ds, './data'))  # no transfer
