GazeInception-Lite: Gated Inception Model for Mobile Eye Gaze Estimation
Architecture:
- Input: 64x64 RGB eye crop (left + right eye stacked as 2-channel or 128x64 side-by-side)
- Gated Inception Blocks: Each inception block has a lightweight gate (squeeze-excitation style)
that learns to skip branches that contribute little, reducing useless compute
- Multi-scale feature extraction via inception (1x1, 3x3, 5x5 parallel convolutions)
- Coordinate Attention for spatial awareness
- Output: (x, y) screen coordinates normalized to [0, 1]
Design goals:
- < 500K parameters for fast mobile inference
- TFLite compatible (no unsupported ops)
- Works in dark (trained with illumination augmentation)
- Handles glasses (trained with glasses augmentation)
- Handles lazy eye / strabismus (trained with per-eye asymmetric augmentation)
