Abstract
A system for gaze direction detection is disclosed herein. The system comprises a face detection unit configured to detect face information from a captured image of a spectator, a head pose unit configured to detect a head pose angle based on the face information; an eye measurement unit configured to detect eye information of at-least one of a left eye or a right eye of the spectator based on the detected face information; an eye-gaze detection unit configured to estimate a gaze angle of the at-least one of the left eye or the right eye of the subject based on the eye information; a conditional gaze detection unit configured to calculate a resultant gaze angle based on the estimated gaze angles of the left eye and right eye and the head pose angle; and an effective gaze detection unit configured to estimate an effective gaze angle based the resultant gaze angle and head-pose angle.
