Pixel-level annotation remains a major bottleneck in medical image segmentation, making weak supervision an attractive yet under-constrained alternative. We propose OBBSeg, an intermediate supervision paradigm guided by Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBBs) that bridges the gap between full and weak supervision.

Estimating human gaze targets from images in-the-wild is an important and formidable task. Existing approaches primarily employ brittle, multi-stage pipelines that require explicit inputs, like head bounding boxes and human pose, in order to identify the subject of gaze analysis.
