Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for eye-tracking comprises capturing images of a user using one or more cameras, the captured images of the user depicting at least an eye of the user, storing the captured images of the user in a storage device, reading, from the storage device, a down-sampled version of the captured images of the user, detecting one or more first segments in the down-sampled version of the captured images by processing the down-sampled version of the captured images using a machine-learning model, the one or more first segments comprising features of the eye of the user, reading, from the storage device, one or more second segments in the captured images corresponding to the one or more first segments in the down-sampled version of the captured images, and computing a gaze of the user based on the one or more second segments in the captured images.
