A STUDY ON FACE , EYE DETECTION AND GAZE ESTIMATION

Abstract

Face and eye detection is one of the most challenging problems in computer vision area. The goal of this paper is to present a study over the existing literature on face and eye detection and gaze estimation. With the uptrend of systems based on face and eye detection in many different areas of life in recent years, this subject has gained much more attention by academic and industrial area. Many different studies have been performed about face and eye detection. Besides having many challenging problems like, having different lighting conditions, having glasses, facial hair or mustache on face, different orientation pose or occlusion of face, face and eye detection methods performed great progress. In this paper we first categorize face detection models and examine the basic algorithms for face detection. Then we present methods for eye detection and gaze estimation.
