A Method of Gaze Direction Estimation Considering Head Posture
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for head posture and gaze direction estimation is proposed. Firstly, three models of head position are established and postures are judged based on triangle attribute constituted by eyes and mouth. Then pupil is located using Hough transform in eye area. With the method of horizontal and vertical projection and eye prior knowledge, the normal eye outline is fitted. Finally, gaze direction is estimated according to the position of pupil in normal state eye and head posture. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed method can accurately detect head posture and gaze direction. For considering head posture, the method has more accuracy in gaze estimation.

Human Interactive E-learning Systems using Head Posture Images
This paper explains a novel approach to human interactive e-learning systems using head posture images. Students’ face and hair information are used to identify a human presence and estimate the gaze direction. We then define the human-computer interaction level and test the definition using ten students and seventy different posture images. The experimental results show that head posture image...
متن کاملA Study on Gaze Estimation Using Head and Body Pose Information
Gaze estimation from an image is an important technique for tasks such as driver monitoring and measuring of advertising effectiveness. For this, most existing methods require a high quality image of eyes. However, It is difficult to obtain the eye images when eye occlusion occurs due to sunglasses or face rotation. Another approach approximates head directions to gaze directions. However, the ...
متن کاملA novel non-intrusive eye gaze estimation using cross-ratio under large head motion
Eye gaze estimation systems calculate the direction of human eye gaze. Numerous accurate eye gaze estimation systems considering a user s head movement have been reported. Although the systems allow large head motion, they require multiple devices and complicate computation in order to obtain the geometrical positions of an eye, cameras, and a monitor. The light-reflection-based method proposed...
متن کاملAdaptive changes of saccadic eye-head coordination resulting from altered head posture in torticollis spasmodicus.
We asked whether and how the abnormal head posture in torticollis patients affects saccadic gaze shifts and impairs the associated head movements. We wanted to learn to what extent observed changes directly result from the disease or reflect compensatory mechanisms, secondary to the altered head posture. We compared the results of patients with those of normal subjects. When patients viewed a c...
