arXiv:2608. 11367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Estimating human gaze targets from images in-the-wild is an important and formidable task.
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.
OpenVAM is a new framework for visual attention modeling that combines a dense saliency map with language‑based explanations. It uses a decoupled design: a visual pathway for precise localization and a vision‑language head that generates grounded what/why explanations. The method is trained in three stages to preserve localization while adding language grounding, and a scalable pipeline creates multi‑domain annotations for evaluation.
EyeMakeYou is a multi‑conditional denoising diffusion model that synthesizes high‑frequency, subject‑specific gaze velocity sequences. It conditions on identity, task, and self‑reported subjective states (difficulty, mental tiredness, eye tiredness) to generate realistic 5‑second, 1000‑Hz bivariate gaze data from a reference trajectory. Experiments on the GazeBase dataset show that EyeMakeYou outperforms existing generative methods in spatial accuracy and real‑synthetic similarity while preserving task‑dependent associations with subjective reports.
arXiv:2606. 06899v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Variations in illumination remain a major challenge for visual representation learning, as they induce substantial appearance changes both across and within environments.
