Abstract
In this paper we present a non-intrusive model-based gaze tracking system. The system estimates the 3-D pose of a user's head by tracking as few as six facial feature points. The system locates a human face using a statistical color model and then finds and tracks the facial features, such as eyes, nostrils and lip corners. A full perspective model is employed to map these feature points onto the 3D pose. Several techniques have been developed to track the features points and recover from failure. We currently achieve a frame rate of 15+ frames per second using an HP 9000 workstation with a framegrabber and a Canon VC-C1 camera. The application of the system has been demonstrated by a gaze-driven panorama image viewer. The potential applications of the system include multimodal interfaces, virtual reality and video-teleconferencing.
