Abstract

Eye gaze estimation can provide critical evidence for people attention, which has extensive applications on cognitive science and computer vision areas, such as human behavior analysis and fake user identification. Existing typical methods mostly place the eye-tracking sensors directly in front of the eyeballs, which is hard to be utilized in the wild. And recent learning-based methods require prior ground truth annotations of gaze vector for training. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised learning-based method for estimating the eye gaze in 3D space. Building on top of the existing unsupervised approach to regress shape parameters and initialize the depth, we propose to apply geometric spectral photometric consistency constraint and spatial consistency constraints across multiple views in video sequences to refine the initial depth values on the detected iris landmark. We demonstrate that our method is able to learn gaze vector in the wild scenes more robust without ground truth gaze annotations or 3D supervision, and show our system leads to a competitive performance compared with existing supervised methods.
