GazeFS: Target-Centered Gaze-Trajectory Forecasting and Stabilization from Gaze-Head History

GazeFS is a model that predicts and stabilizes target‑centered gaze trajectories using a variable‑length gaze‑head history, without requiring target information during inference. It maps this history to the next target‑center direction and a short‑horizon Search/Focus estimate, improving focus target centering and reducing residual gaze error. Across 7,960 acquisition episodes from 30 participants, GazeFS reduces Focus episode bias, dispersion, and P90 target error by 0.182°, 0.257°, and 0.400°, respectively, while maintaining high phase‑balanced accuracy and AUPRC.

GazeDiT: Gaze-Accurate Diffusion Image Generation for Eye Tracking via Spatial Conditioning

GazeDiT is a diffusion model that generates synthetic eye images conditioned on a precise 4‑dimensional gaze vector by using a spatial condition derived from pupil and iris geometry. During training, a frozen SegFormer extracts this geometry from real images, while inference employs a physical eye renderer to produce gaze‑consistent geometries without needing a source image. The model achieves lower tail gaze‑label error than other diffusion baselines and improves downstream eye‑tracking accuracy, reducing error on challenging cases from 3.05° to 2.80°.

DiTGaze: Geometry-Conditioned Diffusion Augmentation for Few-Shot Gaze Estimation

DiTGaze is a calibration‑efficient augmentation system for few‑shot gaze estimation that uses a two‑stream 3D Gaussian Splatting backbone and a geometry‑conditioned latent Diffusion Transformer. It bridges rasterized Gaussian features to latent tokens via a learnable projection and frozen VAE, and incorporates timestep, identity, and expression conditioning through Adaptive Layer Normalization. The method densifies gaze supervision with intermediate yaw‑pitch sampling and applies an orthogonality constraint to reduce interference among gaze, pose, and expression, achieving a 4.1 % reduction in generator‑level gaze error on ETH‑XGaze and outperforming baselines across all calibration budgets up to nine real images.

Context-Aware Causal Gaze Forecasting for Human-Vehicle Interaction During In-Cabin Tracking Dropouts

The paper introduces the Causal Context-Gated Forecaster (CCGF) for predicting a driver's gaze during dashboard-mounted tracker dropouts. CCGF uses a 60‑frame history of gaze and head pose combined with DINOv3 scene features, and a learned reliability gate adjusts the influence of these inputs as the dropout progresses. Experiments on 2,047 naturalistic driving events show that live scene updates reduce median error by 33% compared to history‑only forecasting, while frozen scene input yields higher error, demonstrating the value of real‑time scene information.
