This demo showcases the work of gaze estimation model.
The corresponding pre-trained model gaze-estimation-adas-0002
is delivered with the product.
The demo also relies on the following auxiliary networks:
face-detection-retail-0004
orface-detection-adas-0001
detection networks for finding faceshead-pose-estimation-adas-0001
, which estimates head pose in Tait-Bryan angles, serving as an input for gaze estimation modelfacial-landmarks-35-adas-0002
, which estimates coordinates of facial landmarks for detected faces. The keypoints at the corners of eyes are used to locate eyes regions required for the gaze estimation modelopen-closed-eye-0001
, which estimates eyes state of detected faces.
For more information about the pre-trained models, refer to the model documentation.
Other demo objectives are:
- Video/Camera as inputs, via OpenCV*
- Visualization of gaze estimation results, and, optionally, results of inference on auxiliary models
- The application reads command-line parameters and loads four networks to the Inference Engine
- The application gets a frame from the OpenCV VideoCapture
- The application performs inference on auxiliary models to obtain head pose angles and images of eyes regions serving as an input for gaze estimation model
- The application performs inference on gaze estimation model using inference results of auxiliary models
- The application shows the results
NOTE: By default, Open Model Zoo demos expect input with BGR channels order. If you trained your model to work with RGB order, you need to manually rearrange the default channels order in the demo application or reconvert your model using the Model Optimizer tool with the
--reverse_input_channels
argument specified. For more information about the argument, refer to When to Reverse Input Channels section of Converting a Model Using General Conversion Parameters

Running the application with an empty list of options yields an error message.
To run the demo, you can use public or pre-trained and optimized gaze-estimation-adas-0002
model, and the auxiliary models. To download the pre-trained models, use the OpenVINO Model Downloader or go to https://download.01.org/opencv/.
NOTE: Before running the demo with another trained model, make sure the model is converted to the Inference Engine format (*.xml + *.bin) using the Model Optimizer tool.
For example, to do inference on a CPU, run the following command:
./gaze_estimation_demo -i <path_to_video>/input_video.mp4 -m <path_to_model>/gaze-estimation-adas-0002.xml -m_fd <path_to_model>/face-detection-retail-0004.xml -m_hp <path_to_model>/head-pose-estimation-adas-0001.xml -m_lm <path_to_model>/facial-landmarks-35-adas-0002.xml
The demo uses OpenCV to display the resulting frame with marked gaze vectors, text reports of FPS (frames per second performance) for the demo, and, optionally, marked facial landmarks, head pose angles, and face bounding boxes. By default, it shows only gaze estimation results. To see inference results of auxiliary networks, use run-time control keys.
The demo allows you to control what information is displayed in run-time. The following keys are supported:
- G - to toggle displaying gaze vector
- B - to toggle displaying face detector bounding boxes
- O - to toggle displaying head pose information
- L - to toggle displaying facial landmarks
- E - to toggle displaying eyes state
- A - to switch on displaying all inference results
- N - to switch off displaying all inference results
- F - to flip frames horizontally
- Esc - to quit the demo
NOTE: On VPU devices (Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick, Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2, and Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs) this demo has been tested on the following Model Downloader available topologies:
