| # LIPE V2 Student Model Specification & Tracking |
|
|
| ## 1. Architecture Overview |
| The Student model is an asymmetric dual-branch network designed for high-efficiency gaze estimation on CPU/iGPU. |
|
|
| ### Branch A: Mini Conv-Embedder (Appearance) |
| * **Purpose:** Extract appearance features from eye patches. |
| * **Input:** `(Batch, 4, 8, 8)` - 4 grayscale patches of 8x8 pixels. |
| * **Layers:** |
| * Shared CNN Backbone: |
| * Conv2d(1 -> 16, k=3, p=0) + ReLU (Out: 6x6) |
| * Conv2d(16 -> 32, k=3, p=0) + ReLU (Out: 4x4) |
| * Conv2d(32 -> 64, k=3, p=0) + ReLU (Out: 2x2) |
| * Global Average Pooling (GAP) (Out: 64) |
| * Flatten & Reshape: $4 \times 64 = 256$ features. |
|
|
| ### Branch B: Geometric MLP (Coarse) |
| * **Purpose:** Extract geometric features from facial landmarks. |
| * **Input:** `(Batch, 956)` - 478 landmarks (x, y) flattened and Zero-Centered. |
| * **Layers:** |
| * Linear(956 -> 256) + LayerNorm + ReLU + Dropout(0.05) |
| * Linear(256 -> 256) + ReLU |
|
|
| ### Fusion & Regression Heads |
| * **Fusion:** Residual Addition (Appearance [256] + Geometry [256] = 256). |
| * **Pitch Head:** Linear(256 -> 64) -> ReLU -> Linear(64 -> 1) |
| * **Yaw Head:** Linear(256 -> 64) -> ReLU -> Linear(64 -> 1) |
