Accurate Nod and 3D Gaze Estimation for Social Interaction Analysis

Non-verbal behaviours play an important role in human communication since it can indicate human attention, serve as communication cue in interactions, or even reveal higher level personal constructs. For instance, head nod, a common non-verbal behaviour, c ...

DESI mock challenge Halo and galaxy catalogues with the bias assignment method

Cheng Zhao, Yu Yu, Ginevra Favole

Context. We present a novel approach to the construction of mock galaxy catalogues for large-scale structure analysis based on the distribution of dark matter halos obtained with effective bias models at the field level. Aims. We aim to produce mock galaxy ...

The DESI N-body Simulation Project - II. Suppressing sample variance with fast simulations

Cheng Zhao, Yu Yu, Andrei Variu

Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) will construct a large and precise three-dimensional map of our Universe. The survey effective volume reaches similar to 20 h(-3) Gpc(3). It is a great challenge to prepare high-resolution simulations with a much ...

Towards the Use of Social Interaction Conventions as Prior for Gaze Model Adaptation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu, Rémy Alain Siegfried

Gaze is an important non-verbal cue involved in many facets of social interactions like communication, attentiveness or attitudes. Nevertheless, extracting gaze directions visually and remotely usually suffers large errors because of low resolution images, ...

Unsupervised Representation Learning for Gaze Estimation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu

Although automatic gaze estimation is very important to a large variety of application areas, it is difficult to train accurate and robust gaze models, in great part due to the difficulty in collecting large and diverse data (annotating 3D gaze is expensiv ...

Robust and Accurate 3D Head Pose Estimation through 3DMM and Online Head Model Reconstruction

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu, Kenneth Alberto Funes Mora

Accurate and robust 3D head pose estimation is important for face related analysis. Though high accuracy has been achieved by previous works based on 3D morphable model (3DMM), their performance drops with extreme head poses because such models usually onl ...

Improving Few-Shot User-Specific Gaze Adaptation via Gaze Redirection Synthesis

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu

As an indicator of human attention gaze is a subtle behavioral cue which can be exploited in many applications. However, inferring 3D gaze direction is challenging even for deep neural networks given the lack of large amount of data (groundtruthing gaze is ...

Towards building an attentive artificial listener: on the perception of attentiveness in audio-visual feedback tokens

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu, Catharine Regina Monika Maria Oertel Genannt Bierbach, Kenneth Alberto Funes Mora

Current dialogue systems typically lack a variation of audio-visual feedback tokens. Either they do not encompass feedback tokens at all, or only support a limited set of stereotypical functions. However, this does not mirror the subtleties of spontaneous ...

HeadFusion: 360 degrees Head Pose Tracking Combining 3D Morphable Model and 3D Reconstruction

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu, Kenneth Alberto Funes Mora

Head pose estimation is a fundamental task for face and social related research. Although 3D morphable model (3DMM) based methods relying on depth information usually achieve accurate results, they usually require frontal or mid-profile poses which preclud ...

A Differential Approach for Gaze Estimation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu

Most non-invasive gaze estimation methods regress gaze directions directly from a single face or eye image. However, due to important variabilities in eye shapes and inner eye structures amongst individuals, universal models obtain limited accuracies and t ...

Deep Multitask Gaze Estimation with a Constrained Landmark-Gaze Model

Jean-Marc Odobez, Yu Yu

As an indicator of attention, gaze is an important cue for human behavior and social interaction analysis. Recent deep learning methods for gaze estimation rely on plain regression of the gaze from images without accounting for potential mismatches in eye ...
