Automatic Gaze Analysis in Medium-sized Multiparty Conversations based on Collective First-Person Vision

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We target medium-sized-party face-to-face conversations where each person wears inward- and outward-facing cameras. We demonstrate that the fundamental techniques required for group gaze analysis, i.e. speaker detection, face tracking, and gaze estimation, can be accurately and effectively performed via self-training in a unified framework. This is achieved by gathering captured audio-visual signals to a centralized system and using a general conversation rule, i.e. listeners look mainly at the speaker. We visualize the characteristics of participants' gaze behavior as a gazee-centered heat map, which quantitatively reveals what parts of the gazee's body and for how long the participant looked at it while the gazer speaks or listens. An experiment involving two groups of six-person conversations demonstrates the potential of the proposed framework.
