Abstract

Techniques related to eye contact correction to provide a virtual user gaze aligned with a camera while the user views a display are discussed. Such techniques may include determining and reducing histogram of oriented gradient features for an eye region of a source image to provide a feature set, applying a pretrained classifier to the feature set to determine a motion vector field for the eye region, and warping and inserting the eye region into the source image to generate an eye contact corrected image.
