One of the Japanese camera companies presented this technique at a Siggraph in about 2004 +/- about 3 years. They also showed they could model the shape of the cornea and use that to flatten the image, find the resolution was highest in the direction the person was looking because the curvature of the cornea is highest in the direction the eye is looking.

- yodon 8y agoThe timing is about but right but it was definitely different work focused specifically on extracting the scene the subject of the photo was looking at. I've hunted repeatedlty for a paper or similar covering the presentation and can only conclude that the presentation (and possibly one paragraph conference talk description that probably exists but that I've not been able to find) is likely the only "publication" of the work which is definitey a bummer.

- yodon 8y agoThis one is even closer, but it looks like these researchers used a custom camera setup and the presentation I saw made a big point of the fact that they were doing the work using their existing consumer grade cameras and lenses (since the presenters worked for one of the big digital camera companies of the day)
