Robust Unsupervised Gaze Calibration Using Conversation and Manipulation Attention Priors

Gaze estimation is a difficult task, even for humans. However, as humans, we are good at understanding a situation and exploiting it to guess the expected visual focus of attention of people, and we usually use this information to retrieve people's gaze. I ...

Modeling and Inferring Attention between Humans or for Human-Robot Interactions

Rémy Alain Siegfried

More and more intelligent systems have to interact with humans. In order to communicate efficiently, these systems need to perceive and understand us. A key factor of communication is the people's visual focus of attention (VFOA), which is useful to estima ...

Visual Focus of Attention Estimation in 3D Scene with an Arbitrary Number of Targets

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried

Visual Focus of Attention (VFOA) estimation in conversation is challenging as it relies on difficult to estimate information (gaze) combined with scene features like target positions and other contextual information (speaking status) allowing to disambigua ...

ManiGaze: a Dataset for Evaluating Remote Gaze Estimator in Object Manipulation Situations

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried, Bozorgmehr Aminian

Gaze estimation allows robots to better understand users and thus to more precisely meet their needs. In this paper, we are interested in gaze sensing for analyzing collaborative tasks and manipulation behaviors in human-robot interactions (HRI), which dif ...

Facing Employers and Customers: What Do Gaze and Expressions Tell About Soft Skills?

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Skanda Muralidhar, Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried

Eye gaze and facial expressions are central to face-to-face social interactions. These behavioral cues and their connections to first impressions have been widely studied in psychology and computing literature, but limited to a single situation. Utilizing ...

Towards the Use of Social Interaction Conventions as Prior for Gaze Model Adaptation

Jean-Marc Odobez, Rémy Alain Siegfried, Yu Yu

Gaze is an important non-verbal cue involved in many facets of social interactions like communication, attentiveness or attitudes. Nevertheless, extracting gaze directions visually and remotely usually suffers large errors because of low resolution images, ...
