Researchers have introduced TextGaze, a novel architecture for gaze target estimation that utilizes a Large Vision-Language Model (LVLM) for semantic guidance. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of existing methods, which either require extensive annotations or focus solely on low-level visual saliency. TextGaze extracts visual features and employs an LVLM to generate gaze-aligned textual cues, processed through a transformer-based fusion module with hierarchical text supervision. The model efficiently predicts gaze heatmaps and in-/out-of-frame status, demonstrating competitive performance and robust cross-dataset generalization on four mainstream datasets without additional fine-tuning.
