Description

As now there is a sample head position estimation and face landmark detection, I was wondering is there any plan to add gaze estimation module to Dlib library?

following repositories can be useful to do so: https://github.com/mpatacchiola/deepgaze https://github.com/opengazer/OpenGazer

Research direction
This issue is a feature request for gaze estimation. The author suggests looking at mpatacchiola/deepgaze and opengazer/OpenGazer for inspiration. No maintainer response or concrete implementation plan is provided. A first step would be to analyze the codebases of these projects and determine how to integrate gaze estimation into dlib's existing face landmark detection pipeline. However, the scope is broad and unclear, making it unsuitable for a first time contributor.
