Abstract

Attention mechanisms have been found to be effective for human gaze estimation. To address the problem that traditional attention has limited ability to extract higher-order contextual information in gaze estimation tasks, an ECA attention mechanism-based gaze estimation network is proposed, which aims to effectively exploit the channel relations of features through a global average pooling layer without dimensionality reduction, suppress some facial regions that do not contribute to gaze estimation, and activate subtle facial features that can improve gaze estimation. The model can take full advantage of the user's appearance, which helps to improve the accuracy of the gaze estimation model. In this paper, experiments are conducted on the MPIIGaze dataset, and the results show that the network based on the channel attention mechanism can reduce the estimation error, and the model proposed in this paper can achieve more accurate gaze estimation.
