Range Image Sensor Based Eye Gaze Estimation by Using the Relationship between the Face and Eye Directions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we estimate the eye gaze by using the face direction to estimate the object of interest in an extensive area such as an educational display or museum exhibit. However, the direction of the gaze may differ from that of the face. Therefore, our approach was to use a method that utilizes both the face and eye directions to improve the accuracy of our estimation compared to only using the face direction. The first part of our study involved apprehending the relationship between the direction of the face and the eyes. The second part entailed estimating the eye gaze using this relationship. We then evaluated the effectiveness of this method in comparison to using the relationship with the face direction only.

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 کاملPose Normalization for Eye Gaze Estimation and Facial Attribute Description from Still Images
Our goal is to obtain an eye gaze estimation and a face description based on attributes (e.g. glasses, beard or thick lips) from still images. An attribute-based face description reflects human vocabulary and is therefore adequate as face description. Head pose and eye gaze play an important role in human interaction and are a key element to extract interaction information from still images. Po...

Existing gaze estimation methods rely mainly on 3D eye model or 2D eye appearance. While both methods have validated their effectiveness in various fields and applications, they are still limited in practice, such as portable and non-intrusive system and robust eye gaze tracking in different environments. To this end, we investigate on combining eye model with eye appearance to perform gaze est...
