Gaze Estimation Using Regression Analysis and AAMs Parameters Selected Based on Information Criterion
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the most crucial techniques associated with Computer Vision is technology that deals with the automatic estimation of gaze orientation. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate horizontal gaze orientation from a monocular camera image using the parameters of Active Appearance Models (AAM) selected based on several model selection methods. The proposed method can estimate horizontal gaze orientation more precisely than the conventional method (Ishikawa’s method) because of the following two unique points: simultaneous estimation of horizontal head pose and gaze orientation, and the most suitable model formula for regression selected based on each model selection method. The validity of the proposed method was confirmed by experimental results.

متن کاملParameter estimation of Japanese predicate argument structure analysis model using eye gaze information
In this paper, we propose utilising eye gaze information for estimating parameters of a Japanese predicate argument structure (PAS) analysis model. We employ not only linguistic information in the text, but also the information of annotator eye gaze during their annotation process. We hypothesise that annotator’s frequent looks at certain candidates imply their plausibility of being the argumen...
