Person Independent 3D Gaze Estimation From Remote RGB-D Cameras

Conference Papers

Abstract

We address the problem of person independent 3D gaze estimation using a remote, low resolution, RGB-D camera. The approach relies on a sparse technique to reconstruct normalized eye test images from a gaze appearance model (a set of eye image/gaze pairs) and infer their gaze accordingly. In this context, the paper makes three contributions: (i) unlike most previous approaches, we exploit the coupling (and constraints) between both eyes to infer their gaze jointly; (ii) we show that a generic gaze appearance model built from the aggregation of person-specific models can be used to handle unseen users and compensate for appearance variations across people, since a test user eyes' appearance will be reconstructed from similar users within the generic model. (iii) we propose an automatic model selection method that leads to comparable performance with a reduced computational load.

User research

User research focuses on understanding user behaviors, needs and motivations through interviews, surveys, usability evaluations and other forms of feedback methodologies. It is used to understand how people interact with products and evaluate whether design solutions meet their needs. This field of research aims at improving the user experience (UX) of products, services, or processes by incorporating experimental and observational research methods to guide the design, development, and refinement of a product.

Eye movement

Eye movement includes the voluntary or involuntary movement of the eyes. Eye movements are used by a number of organisms (e.g. primates, rodents, flies, birds, fish, cats, crabs, octopus) to fixate, inspect and track visual objects of interests. A special type of eye movement, rapid eye movement, occurs during REM sleep. The eyes are the visual organs of the human body, and move using a system of six muscles. The retina, a specialised type of tissue containing photoreceptors, senses light.

Gaze

In critical theory, philosophy, sociology, and psychoanalysis, the gaze (French: le regard), in the figurative sense, is an individual's (or a group's) awareness and perception of other individuals, other groups, or oneself. The concept and the social applications of the gaze have been defined and explained by existentialist and phenomenologist philosophers. Jean-Paul Sartre described the gaze (or "the look") in Being and Nothingness (1943).
