  • Publication number: 20240005676
    Abstract: An electronic device 10 includes an image-capturing unit 11, a line-of-sight detector 12, and a controller 14. The controller 14 functions as a low-concentration heat map group estimator 15 and a high-concentration heat map estimator 16. The low-concentration heat map group estimator 15 can estimate a low-concentration heat map group based on an image. The high-concentration heat map estimator 16 can estimate a high-concentration heat map based on the image. The controller 14 calculates the degree of concentration of a subject based on the low-concentration heat map group, the high-concentration heat map, and a line of sight of the subject. The low-concentration heat map group estimator 15 is constructed using learning data obtained by machine learning the relationship between learning images and lines of sight for each load factor.

  • Publication number: 20240005677
    Abstract: An electronic device 10 includes an image-capturing unit 11, a line-of-sight detector 12, and a controller 14. The image-capturing unit 11 generates an image corresponding to a view by performing image capturing. The line-of-sight detector 12 detects a line of sight of a subject with respect to the view. The controller 14 determines, based on the image, the reliability of the image as a source of estimation of the degree of concentration of the subject.
