Real-Time Gaze Estimation Using a Kinect and a HD Webcam

چکیده
In human-computer interaction, gaze orientation is an important and promising source of information to demonstrate the attention and focus of users. Gaze detection can also be an extremely useful metric for analysing human mood and affect. Furthermore, gaze can be used as an input method for human-computer interaction. However, currently real-time and accurate gaze estimation is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose a simple and novel estimation model of the real-time gaze direction of a user on a computer screen. This method utilises cheap capturing devices, a HD webcam and a Microsoft Kinect. We consider that the gaze motion from a user facing forwards is composed of the local gaze motion shifted by eye motion and the global gaze motion driven by face motion. We validate our proposed model of gaze estimation and provide experimental evaluation of the reliability and the precision of the method.

Our paper presents the following contributions : (i) A direct estimation by inferring gaze information from RGB...
متن کاملGazing into the Abyss: Real-time Gaze Estimation
Gaze and face tracking algorithms have traditionally battled a compromise between computational complexity and accuracy; the most accurate neural net algorithms cannot be implemented in real time, but less complex realtime algorithms suffer from higher error. This project seeks to better bridge that gap by improving on real-time eye and facial recognition algorithms in order to develop accurate...

In video conferencing, eye gaze correction is beneficial for effective communication. In this era, video conferencing at homes using laptops is straightforward. In this paper, we propose an eye gaze correction method with a low-cost simple setup using Kinect v2. Our method detects an ellipse that connects edge points of the face after identifying several feature points within the face using Kin...
متن کاملA 2D eye gaze estimation system with low-resolution webcam images
In this article, a low-cost system for 2D eye gaze estimation with low-resolution webcam images is presented. Two algorithms are proposed for this purpose, one for the eye-ball detection with stable approximate pupil-center and the other one for the eye movements’ direction detection. Eyeball is detected using deformable angular integral search by minimum intensity (DAISMI) algorithm. Deformabl...
