Learning to Find Eye Region Landmarks for Remote Gaze Estimation in Unconstrained Settings
Conventional feature-based and model-based gaze estimation methods have
proven to perform well in settings with controlled illumination and specialized
cameras. In unconstrained real-world settings, however, such methods are
surpassed by recent appearance-based methods due to difficulties in modeling
factors such as illumination changes and other visual artifacts. We present a
novel learning-based method for eye region landmark localization that enables
conventional methods to be competitive to latest appearance-based methods.
Despite having been trained exclusively on synthetic data, our method exceeds
the state of the art for iris localization and eye shape registration on
real-world imagery. We then use the detected landmarks as input to iterative
model-fitting and lightweight learning-based gaze estimation methods. Our
approach outperforms existing model-fitting and appearance-based methods in the
context of person-independent and personalized gaze estimation
Unobtrusive and pervasive video-based eye-gaze tracking
Eye-gaze tracking has long been considered a desktop technology that finds its use inside the traditional office setting, where the operating conditions may be controlled. Nonetheless, recent advancements in mobile technology and a growing interest in capturing natural human behaviour have motivated an emerging interest in tracking eye movements within unconstrained real-life conditions, referred to as pervasive eye-gaze tracking. This critical review focuses on emerging passive and unobtrusive video-based eye-gaze tracking methods in recent literature, with the aim to identify different research avenues that are being followed in response to the challenges of pervasive eye-gaze tracking. Different eye-gaze tracking approaches are discussed in order to bring out their strengths and weaknesses, and to identify any limitations, within the context of pervasive eye-gaze tracking, that have yet to be considered by the computer vision community.peer-reviewe
