GazeML

A deep learning framework based on Tensorflow for the training of high performance gaze estimation.

Please note that though this framework may work on various platforms, it has only been tested on an Ubuntu 16.04 system.

All implementations are re-implementations of published algorithms and thus provided models should not be considered as reference.

This framework currently integrates the following models:

ELG

Eye region Landmarks based Gaze Estimation.

Deep Pictorial Gaze Estimation

To download the MPIIGaze training data, please run bash get_mpiigaze_hdf.bash

Note: This reimplementation differs from the original proposed implementation and reaches 4.63 degrees in the within-MPIIGaze setting. The changes were made to attain comparable performance and results in a leaner model.

Installing dependencies

Run (with sudo appended if necessary),

python3 setup.py install

Note that this can be done within a virtual environment. In this case, the sequence of commands would be similar to:

    mkvirtualenv -p $(which python3) myenv
    python3 setup.py install

when using virtualenvwrapper.

Tensorflow

Tensorflow is assumed to be installed separately, to allow for usage of custom wheel files if necessary.

Please follow the official installation guide for Tensorflow here.

Getting pre-trained weights

To acquire the pre-trained weights provided with this repository, please run:

    bash get_trained_weights.bash

Running the demo

To run the webcam demo, perform the following:

    cd src
    python3 elg_demo.py

To see available options, please run python3 elg_demo.py --help instead.
