Abstract
A system and method for identifying an interesting area within video data using gaze tracking is provided. The system determines gaze vectors for individual faces and determines if the gazes are aligned on a single object. For example, the system may map the gaze vectors to a three-dimensional space and determine a point at which the gaze vectors converge. The point may be mapped to the video data to determine the interesting area having a high priority. The system may generate a heat map indicating gaze tracking over time to delineate persistent interesting areas and instantaneous interesting areas.
