The field of computer vision is moving towards more accurate and efficient methods for gaze estimation and object pose estimation. Recent developments have focused on improving the robustness and generalizability of these methods, with a particular emphasis on real-time applications and edge AI solutions. Noteworthy papers in this area include RTGaze, which achieves state-of-the-art performance in gaze redirection, and CoordAR, which presents a novel autoregressive framework for one-reference 6D pose estimation of unseen objects. Other notable works include OPFormer, which integrates object detection and pose estimation with a versatile onboarding process, and WALDO, which proposes a dynamic non-uniform dense sampling strategy for model-based 6D pose estimation under occlusion. These advancements have significant implications for applications such as robotics, augmented reality, and scene understanding.
