arXiv:2609.09610v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a marker-free eye-gaze estimation approach using a single 2D camera, such as an integrated laptop webcam. The gaze-related features are estimated from iris localization and head pose estimated by using depth from defocus. A variational Bayesian multinomial logistic regression framework is used as mapping from the estimated features to the position of regard, based on an 8-dimensional feature vector of head-pose and iris-displacement parameters. No external marker is needed. Experiments were conducted by estimating the gaze of people watching a computer screen at different distances and compared against five existing methods. The obtained scores demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
