This project aims to perform gaze estimation using several deep learning models like ResNet, MobileNet v2, and MobileOne. It supports both classification and regression for predicting gaze direction. Built on top of L2CS-Net, the project includes additional pre-trained models and refined code for better performance and flexibility.

Features

• ONNX Inference: Export pytorch weights to ONNX and ONNX runtime inference.
• ResNet: Deep Residual Networks - Enables deeper networks with better accuracy through residual learning.
• MobileNet v2: Inverted Residuals and Linear Bottlenecks - Efficient model for mobile applications, balancing performance and computational cost.
• MobileOne (s0-s4): An Improved One millisecond Mobile Backbone - Achieves near-instant inference times, ideal for real-time mobile applications.
• Face Detection: SCFRD - Sample and Computation Redistribution for Efficient Face Detection (SCRFD) model for efficient face detection.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yakyo/gaze-estimation.git
cd gaze-estimation

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Download weight files:

   a) Download weights from the following links:

   Model	Weights	Size	Epochs	MAE
   ResNet-18	resnet18.pt	43 MB	200	12.84
   ResNet-34	resnet34.pt	81.6 MB	200	11.33
   ResNet-50	resnet50.pt	91.3 MB	200	11.34
   MobileNet V2	mobilenetv2.pt	9.59 MB	200	13.07
   MobileOne S0	mobileone_s0_fused.pt	4.8 MB	200	12.58
   MobileOne S1	mobileone_s1_fused.pt	xx MB	200	*
   MobileOne S2	mobileone_s2_fused.pt	xx MB	200	*
   MobileOne S3	mobileone_s3_fused.pt	xx MB	200	*
   MobileOne S4	mobileone_s4_fused.pt	xx MB	200	*

   '*' - soon will be uploaded (due to limited computing resources I cannot publish rest of the weights, but you still can train them with given code).

   b) Run the command below to download weights to the weights directory (Linux):

   sh download.sh [model_name]
                  resnet18
                  resnet34
                  resnet50
                  mobilenetv2
                  mobileone_s0
                  mobileone_s1
                  mobileone_s2
                  mobileone_s3
                  mobileone_s4
