US Patent 11317081 Gaze correction of multi-view images

Gaze is corrected by adjusting multi-view images of a head. Image patches containing the left and right eyes of the head are identified and a feature vector is derived from plural local image descriptors of the image patch in at least one image of the multi-view images. A displacement vector field representing a transformation of an image patch is derived, using the derived feature vector to look up reference data comprising reference displacement vector fields associated with possible values of the feature vector produced by machine learning. The multi-view images are adjusted by transforming the image patches containing the left and right eyes of the head in accordance with the derived displacement vector field.
