Abstract
Estimating human gaze target from visible images is a critical task for robots to understand human attention, yet the development of generalizable neural architectures and training paradigms remains challenging. While recent advances in pre-trained vision foundation models offer promising avenues for locating gaze targets, the integration of multi-modal cues -- including eyes, head poses, gestures, and contextual features -- demands adaptive and efficient decoding mechanisms. Inspired by Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) for adaptive domain expertise in large vision-language models, we propose GazeMoE, a novel end-to-end framework that selectively leverages gaze-target-related cues from a frozen foundation model through MoE modules. To address class imbalance in gaze target classification (in-frame vs. out-of-frame) and enhance robustness, GazeMoE incorporates a class-balancing auxiliary loss alongside strategic data augmentations, including region-specific cropping and photometric transformations. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our GazeMoE achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing methods on challenging gaze estimation tasks. The code and pre-trained models are released at https://huggingface.co/zdai257/GazeMoE

WHY NOW
Gaze Estimation moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 8.0/10.
we propose GazeMoE, a novel end-to-end framework that selectively leverages gaze-target-related cues from a frozen foundation model through MoE modules.
This is a core statement of the proposed method, directly from the abstract.
partial
GazeMoE incorporates a class-balancing auxiliary loss alongside strategic data augmentations, including region-specific cropping and photometric transformations.
This describes specific techniques used in the proposed method, directly from the abstract.
partial
Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our GazeMoE achieves state-of-the-art performance, outperforming existing methods on challenging gaze estimation tasks.
The abstract explicitly states this achievement, supported by experimental results.
partial
The model requires fine-tuning and may not be as effective with low-quality input data.
This is mentioned as a caveat in the analysis, implying a necessary step for effective use.

The paper proposes GazeMoE, a model using Mixture-of-Experts layers to dynamically route and analyze visual cues such as eye landmarks, head poses, gestures and scene context to accurately estimate gaze direction from images, using DINOv2 as a frozen foundation model for feature extraction.
The analysis section clearly states the foundation model used.
partial
The market is substantial, involving sectors like robotics, automotive (for driver monitoring), retail (consumer analytics), and healthcare (autism research), where accurate gaze tracking is crucial.
The 'product_opportunity' section details the market size and relevant sectors.
partial
The model was tested on several benchmark datasets, showing superior performance in terms of prediction accuracy and robustness in diverse and out-of-distribution visual environments compared to existing methods.
The 'method_eval' section provides a summary of the experimental findings.
