Abstract: Gaze estimation is a technique for predicting the gaze position or gaze direction of the human eye and plays an important role in human-computer interaction and computer vision applications. The recent development of deep learning has revolutionized many computer vision tasks, and using deep learning for appearance-based gaze estimation has also become a hot topic. Focusing on the training process of the deep learning model, this paper analyzes state-of-the-art gaze estimation methods from four perspectives: gaze data preprocessing, gaze feature extraction, gaze learning strategies, and deep gaze model structures. In addition, the mainstream public datasets are summarized, and the performance evaluation and analysis of 2D and 3D gaze estimation methods are carried out on several popular datasets. Finally, the challenges faced by the existing gaze estimation methods are discussed, and the future development directions are prospected.
