Abstract
The eyes play a vital role in the perception of our evolving surrounding as well as in communication with other human beings. Apart from the behavioral and scientific research in medical diagnoses
and psychological studies, estimating gaze direction is also important in Mixed Reality, AI assistant devices, Automotive, Human-Computer and Robot interaction, User authentication and many other applications.
In this talk, I will give a short introduction to eye-tracking research, compare between the geometric (model based) and data-driven (appearance based) methods, with emphasis on the ad-vantages and disadvantages of deep-learning in this domain and present some interesting usages of this technology.
