• Abstract summary: Mutual gaze detection plays an important role in understanding human interactions. We propose a simple and effective approach to boost the performance by using an auxiliary 3D gaze estimation task during the training phase. We achieve the performance boost without additional labeling cost by training the 3D gaze estimation branch using pseudo 3D gaze labels deduced from mutual gaze labels.

• Abstract: Mutual gaze detection, i.e., predicting whether or not two people are looking at each other, plays an important role in understanding human interactions. In this work, we focus on the task of image-based mutual gaze detection, and propose a simple and effective approach to boost the performance by using an auxiliary 3D gaze estimation task during the training phase. We achieve the performance boost without additional labeling cost by training the 3D gaze estimation branch using pseudo 3D gaze labels deduced from mutual gaze labels. By sharing the head image encoder between the 3D gaze estimation and the mutual gaze detection branches, we achieve better head features than learned by training the mutual gaze detection branch alone. Experimental results on three image datasets show that the proposed approach improves the detection performance significantly without additional annotations. This work also introduces a new image dataset that consists of 33.1K pairs of humans annotated with mutual gaze labels in 29.2K images.

  Appearance-based gaze estimation aims to predict the 3D eye gaze direction from a single image. Recent deep learning-based approaches have demonstrated excellent performance, but cannot output multi-person gaze in real time. We propose GazeOnce, which is capable of simultaneously predicting gaze directions for multiple faces in an image.

  The objective of image manipulation detection is to identify and locate the manipulated regions in the images. Recent approaches mostly adopt the sophisticated Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to capture the tampering artifacts left in the images. We propose a hierarchical Graph Convolutional Network (HGCN-Net), which consists of two parallel branches.

  Self-similarity, and the resulting ambiguities in assigning pixel observations to the respective hands, is a major cause of the final 3D pose error. We propose DIGIT, a novel method for estimating the 3D poses of two interacting hands from a single monocular image. We experimentally show that the proposed approach achieves new state-of-the-art performance on the InterHand2.6M dataset.
