Training code for gaze estimation models using MPIIGaze, MPIIFaceGaze, and ETH-XGaze.
sample_eth-xgaze.mp4
A demo is available in this repo.
- Linux (Tested on Ubuntu only)
- Python >= 3.9
pip install -r requirements.txt
For docker environment, see here.
The basic usage is as follows:
python train.py --configs /path/to/your/config.yaml
Multiple config files can be specified to set new variables or overwrite previously
defined values.
You can also overwrite previously defined values by listing the key/value
pairs after the --options
flags.
usage: train.py [-h] --configs [CONFIGS ...] [--options ...]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--configs [CONFIGS ...]
Paths to config files.
--options ... Variables to overwrite. (optional)
test_id=0
python train.py --configs configs/examples/mpiigaze_lenet.yaml \
--options EXPERIMENT.TEST_ID ${test_id} \
EXPERIMENT.OUTPUT_DIR exp0000/$(printf %02d ${test_id})
You need to download and preprocess the dataset before training by running the following commands:
bash scripts/download_mpiigaze_dataset.sh
python scripts/preprocess_mpiigaze.py --dataset datasets/MPIIGaze -o datasets/
(Additional packages are required to preprocess the dataset. See the code.)
test_id=0
python train.py --configs configs/examples/mpiifacegaze.yaml \
--options SCHEDULER.WARMUP.EPOCHS 3 \
EXPERIMENT.TEST_ID ${test_id} \
EXPERIMENT.OUTPUT_DIR exp0000/$(printf %02d ${test_id})
You need to download and preprocess the dataset before training by running the following commands:
bash scripts/download_mpiifacegaze_dataset.sh
python scripts/preprocess_mpiifacegaze.py --dataset datasets/MPIIFaceGaze_normalized -o datasets/
(Additional packages are required to preprocess the dataset. See the code.)

docker-compose 1.29.2 is required.
docker-compose build train
docker-compose run --rm -u $(id -u):$(id -g) -v /path/to/datasets:/datasets train python train.py --configs /path/to/your/config.yaml
All the results in the table below are of a single run. In these experiments, the data of subjects with id 1, 23, 24, 35, 38, 46, 58, 63, 70, and 78 were used as the validation data. The models were trained for 15 epochs with a multi-step learning rate schedule. The learning rate was multiplied by 0.1 at epochs 10, 13, and 14.
