• Abstract: We present DiffGaze, a novel method for generating realistic and diverse continuous human gaze sequences on 360{\deg} images based on a conditional score-based denoising diffusion model. Generating human gaze on 360{\deg} images is important for various human-computer interaction and computer graphics applications, e.g. for creating large-scale eye tracking datasets or for realistic animation of virtual humans. However, existing methods are limited to predicting discrete fixation sequences or aggregated saliency maps, thereby neglecting crucial parts of natural gaze behaviour. Our method uses features extracted from 360{\deg} images as condition and uses two transformers to model the temporal and spatial dependencies of continuous human gaze. We evaluate DiffGaze on two 360{\deg} image benchmarks for gaze sequence generation as well as scanpath prediction and saliency prediction. Our evaluations show that DiffGaze outperforms state-of-the-art methods on all tasks on both benchmarks. We also report a 21-participant user study showing that our method generates gaze sequences that are indistinguishable from real human sequences.

  Our study focuses on the incremental prediction of attention as a person is seeing an image and hearing a referring expression. We developed the Attention in Referral Transformer model or ART, which predicts the human fixations spurred by each word in a referring expression. In our quantitative and qualitative analyses, ART not only outperforms existing methods in scanpath prediction, but also appears to capture several human attention patterns.

  We propose a novel multi-stage recurrent generative adversarial networks for ODIs dubbed MRGAN360. At each stage, the prediction model takes as input the original image and the output of the previous stage and outputs a more accurate saliency map. We employ a recurrent neural network among adjacent prediction stages to model their correlations, and exploit a discriminator at the end of each stage to supervise the output saliency map.
