Appearance-based gaze estimation methods that only require an off-the-shelf camera have significantly improved but they are still not yet widely used in the human-computer interaction (HCI) community. This is partly because it remains…
Eye tracking has emerged as a powerful tool for examining visual perception and search strategies in various domains, including medicine. While it is relatively straightforward to apply in 2D settings, its use in 3D medical imaging remains…
Operating rooms (ORs) are cluttered, dynamic, highly occluded environments, where reliable spatial understanding is essential for situational awareness during complex surgical workflows. Achieving spatial understanding for panoptic…
Accurate counting of surgical instruments in Operating Rooms (OR) is a critical prerequisite for ensuring patient safety during surgery. Despite recent progress of large visual-language models and agentic AI, accurately counting such…
We present a real-time gaze tracking system that directly acquires task-relevant latent features using a fully passive optical encoder. Instead of forming and processing full-resolution images, our approach leverages a microlens array with…
Medical image segmentation remains challenging due to the high cost of pixel-level annotations for training. In the context of weak supervision, clinician gaze data captures regions of diagnostic interest; however, its sparsity limits its…
When deep neural network (DNN) was first introduced to the medical image analysis community, researchers were impressed by its performance. However, it is evident now that a large number of manually labeled data is often a must to train a…
Contextual cues related to a person's pose and interactions with objects and other people in the scene can provide valuable information for gaze following. While existing methods have focused on dedicated cue extraction methods, in this…
Human gaze offers rich supervisory signals for understanding visual attention in complex visual environments. In this paper, we propose Eyes on Target, a novel depth-aware and gaze-guided object detection framework designed for egocentric…
The existing computational visual attention systems have focused on the objective to basically simulate and understand the concept of visual attention system in adults. Consequently, the impact of observer's age in scene viewing behavior…
Saliency prediction refers to the computational task of modeling overt attention. Social cues greatly influence our attention, consequently altering our eye movements and behavior. To emphasize the efficacy of such features, we present a…
This work describes a computer vision system that enables pervasive mapping and monitoring of human attention. The key contribution is that our methodology enables full 3D recovery of the gaze pointer, human view frustum and associated…
Assistive robotic systems endeavour to support those with movement disabilities, enabling them to move again and regain functionality. Main issue with these systems is the complexity of their low-level control, and how to translate this to…
Radiologist eye-tracking data provide a rich record of how experts search, compare, and accumulate evidence during image reading; yet, existing methods exploit this signal only partially, either as a static spatial prior or as an auxiliary…
In this paper we address the problems of detecting objects of interest in a video and of estimating their locations, solely from the gaze directions of people present in the video. Objects can be indistinctly located inside or outside the…
This paper introduces a vision-based framework for capturing and understanding human behavior in industrial assembly lines, focusing on car door manufacturing. The framework leverages advanced computer vision techniques to estimate workers'…
We introduce GazeD, a new 3D gaze estimation method that jointly provides 3D gaze and human pose from a single RGB image. Leveraging the ability of diffusion models to deal with uncertainty, it generates multiple plausible 3D gaze and pose…
One of the most fundamental and information-laden actions humans do is to look at objects. However, a survey of current works reveals that existing gaze-related datasets annotate only the pixel being looked at, and not the boundaries of a…
Nonverbal behaviors, particularly gaze direction, play a crucial role in enhancing effective communication in social interactions. As social robots increasingly participate in these interactions, they must adapt their gaze based on human…
In this paper, we describe our study on how humans allocate their attention during visual crowd counting. Using an eye tracker, we collect gaze behavior of human participants who are tasked with counting the number of people in crowd…
