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.
