Gaze estimation technology has been widely used in the field of computer vision in recent years. It has been utilized in various fields, such as automotive systems, human-computer interaction and augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR). In these applications, the target of gaze estimation is apparent, and sensors and cameras are placed at close distances to ensure precise gaze estimation. Conversely, applications such as measuring attention in advertisements have emerged, by utilizing gaze direction obtained from the increasing number of surveillance cameras in urban areas and public spaces. These surveillance cameras are not primarily intended for capturing individuals’ faces for gaze detection. Furthermore, potential obstructions, which may obscure individuals, create challenges that differ from the typical environments considered for gaze estimation. In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the gaze direction of a person with high accuracy, even in images taken by such surveillance cameras. We also compare and evaluate the proposed method using an existing dataset of surveillance camera images.
