Gaze-LLE: Gaze Target Estimation via Large-Scale Learned Encoders

Le résumé fourni par la source

We address the problem of gaze target estimation, which aims to predict where a person is looking in a scene. Predicting a person’s gaze target requires reasoning both about the person’s appearance and the contents of the scene. Prior works have developed increasingly complex, handcrafted pipelines for gaze target estimation that carefully fuse features from separate scene encoders, head encoders, and auxiliary models for signals like depth and pose. Motivated by the success of general-purpose feature extractors on a variety of visual tasks, we propose Gaze-LLE, a novel transformer framework that streamlines gaze target estimation by leveraging features from a frozen DINOv2 encoder. We extract a single feature representation for the scene, and apply a person-specific positional prompt to decode gaze with a lightweight module. We demonstrate state-of-the-art performance across several gaze benchmarks and provide extensive analysis to validate our design choices.
