Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A method for estimating whether or not a TV viewer is watching the video content on the basis of the viewer’s behaviors in a typical home environment is proposed. Using an input signal provided by a Kinect sensor, it identifies the presence of a viewer by extracting keypoint trajectories in video sequences of that viewer. It then estimates whether the viewer is gazing at the video content or not on the basis of the viewer's head pose, which is estimated in two different ways: by a color image-based module and by a depth-image-based module. Results from the two modules are combined to increase robustness. To evaluate the proposed method, a simulation test on TV viewing in a typical living space was conducted. The simulation results suggest that the proposed method can robustly detect the viewer’s gaze.
