Abstract


Theory shows that huge amount of labelled data are needed in order to achieve reliable classification/regression methods when using deep/machine learning techniques. However, in the eye tracking field, manual annotation is not a feasible option due to the wide variability to be covered. Hence, techniques devoted to synthesizing images show up as an opportunity to provide vast amounts of annotated data. Considering that the well-known UnityEyes tool provides a framework to generate single eye images and taking into account that both eyes information can contribute to improve gaze estimation accuracy we present U2Eyes dataset, that is publicly available. It comprehends about 6 million of synthetic images containing binocular data. Furthermore, the physiology of the eye model employed is improved, simplified dynamics of binocular vision are incorporated and more detailed 2D and 3D labelled data are provided. Additionally, an example of application of the dataset is shown as work in progress. Employing U2Eyes as training framework Supervised Descent Method (SDM) is used for eyelids segmentation. The model obtained as result of the training process is then applied on real images from GI4E dataset showing promising results.
