Building a Self-Learning Eye Gaze Model from User Interaction Data
2014
Most eye gaze estimation systems rely on explicit calibration, which is inconvenient to the user, limits the amount of possible training data and consequently the performance. Since there is likely a strong correlation between gaze and interaction cues, such as cursor and caret locations, a supervised learning algorithm can learn the complex mapping between gaze features and the gaze point by training on incremental data collected implicitly from normal computer interactions. We develop a set of robust geometric gaze features and a corresponding data validation mechanism that identifies good training data from noisy interaction-informed data collected in real-use scenarios. Based on a study of gaze movement patterns, we apply behavior-informed validation to extract gaze features that correspond with the interaction cue, and data-driven validation provides another level of crosschecking using previous good data. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed method achieves an average error of 4.06o, and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed gaze estimation method and corresponding validation mechanism.
