The Pytorch Implementation of "Eye Tracking for Everyone". (updated in 2021/04/28)

We build benchmarks for gaze estimation in our survey "Appearance-based Gaze Estimation With Deep Learning: A Review and Benchmark". This is the implemented code of the "Itrack" method in our benchmark. Please refer our survey for more details.

We recommend you to use data processing codes provided in <a href="http://phi-ai.org/GazeHub/" target="_blank">GazeHub</a>. You can direct run the method' code using the processed dataset.

Introduction

Gazecapture dataset provides training, test and validation set. We provide code for the evaluation with training-test mode. In addition, cross validation is also a common evaluation strategy in gaze estimation. We also provide code for the evaluation with cross validation mode.

The project contains following files/folders.

• model.py, the model code.
• train.py, the entry for training with training-test mode.
• test.py, the entry for testing with training-test mode.
• leave_train.py, the entry for training with cross-validation mode.
• leave_test.py, the entry for training with cross-validation mode.
• config/, this folder contains the config of the experiment in each dataset. To run our code, you should write your own config.yaml.
• reader/, the code for reading data. You can use the provided reader or write your own reader.
• run.sh, a shell file for cross validation.

Getting Started

Writing your own config.yaml

Normally, for training, you should change

1. train.save.save_path, The model is saved in the $save_path$/checkpoint/.
2. train.data.image, This is the path of image, please use the provided data processing code in <a href="http://phi-ai.org/GazeHub/" target="_blank">GazeHub</a>
3. train.data.label, This is the path of label.
4. reader, This indicates the used reader. It is the filename in reader folder, e.g., reader/reader_mpii.py ==> reader: reader_mpii.

For test, you should change

1. test.load.load_path, it is usually the same as train.save.save_path. The test result is saved in $load_path$/evaluation/.
2. test.data.image, it is usually the same as train.data.image.
3. test.data.label, it is usually the same as train.data.label.

Training

In the cross-validation mode, you can run

python leave_train.py config/config_mpii.yaml 0

This means the code will run with config_mpii.yaml and use the 0th person as the test set.

You also can run

bash run.sh leave_train.py config/config_mpii.yaml

This means the code will perform cross validation automatically.
run.sh performs iteration, you can change the iteration times in run.sh for different datasets, e.g., set the iteration times as 4 for four-fold validation.

In the training-test mode, you can run

python train.py config/config_gazecapture.yaml

Test

In the cross-validation mode, you can run

python leave_test.py config/config_mpii.yaml 0

or

bash run.sh leave_test.py config/config_mpii.yaml

In the training-test mode, you can run

python test.py config/config_gazecapture.yaml

Result

After training or test, you can find the result from the $save_path$ in the config file.
