Abstract :
The deviated eye gaze problem in video conferencing has been known and studied for many years. This paper suggests a simple and novel approach for face reorientation in a monocular setting, which is done by performing a combined rotation and antirotation operation on the image. Our approach on face reorientation does not require 3D modeling, registration or texture mapping. It is simple, efficient and robust. To make the eye gaze correction complete, an image warping technique is used for modifying eyelids and a simple transformation is used for correcting eye glares.
