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
Deep Autoencoder for Combined Human Pose Estimation and body Model Upscaling
We present a method for simultaneously estimating 3D human pose and body
shape from a sparse set of wide-baseline camera views. We train a symmetric
convolutional autoencoder with a dual loss that enforces learning of a latent
representation that encodes skeletal joint positions, and at the same time
learns a deep representation of volumetric body shape. We harness the latter to
up-scale input volumetric data by a factor of , whilst recovering a
3D estimate of joint positions with equal or greater accuracy than the state of
the art. Inference runs in real-time (25 fps) and has the potential for passive
human behaviour monitoring where there is a requirement for high fidelity
estimation of human body shape and pose
