Abstract

The disclosure relates to systems, methods, and programs for implicitly determining the relation of the eyes associated with gaze inference, including salient features (e.g., ocular dominance) that are not visible within a digital frame, allowing for real-time determination of the user's dominant eye for the purpose of gaze estimation, and point-of-regard mapping onto a 2D plane, achieved through an end-to-end training of an eye selector agent with domain-expertise knowledge embedded in an unsupervised manner via a convolutional deep neural network training process.
