BlinkLinMulT: Transformer-based Eye Blink Detection.

BlinkLinMulT

BlinkLinMulT is trained for blink presence detection and eye state recognition tasks. Our results demonstrate comparable or superior performance compared to state-of-the-art models on 2 tasks, using 7 public benchmark databases.

Quick start

Load models from the paper with pre-trained weights

The pre-trained weights are loaded by default.

from blinklinmult.models import DenseNet121, BlinkLinT, BlinkLinMulT

model1 = DenseNet121()
model2 = BlinkLinT()
model3 = BlinkLinMulT()

In the next sessions there are more detailed examples with dummy data, e.g. a forward pass is performed, shapes are mentioned.

Inference with dummy data

Pre-trained DenseNet121 for eye state recognition. The forward pass is performed using an input image.

import torch
from blinklinmult.models import DenseNet121

# input shape: (batch_size, channels, height, width)
x = torch.rand((32, 3, 64, 64), device='cuda')
model = DenseNet121(output_dim=1, weights='densenet121-union').cuda()
y_pred = model(x)

# output shape: (batch_size, output_dimension)
assert y_pred.size() == torch.Size([32, 1])

Pre-trained BlinkLinT for blink presence detection and eye state recognition. The forward pass is performed using sequence of images.

import torch
from blinklinmult.models import BlinkLinT

# input shape: (batch_size, time_dimension, channels, height, width)
x = torch.rand((8, 15, 3, 64, 64), device='cuda')
model = BlinkLinT(output_dim=1, weights='blinklint-union').cuda()
y_seq = model(x)

# output shape: (batch_size, time_dimension, output_dimension)
assert y_seq.size() == torch.Size([8, 15, 1])

Pre-trained BlinkLinMulT for blink presence detection and eye state recognition. The forward pass is performed using sequence of images and sequence of high-level features.

import torch
from blinklinmult.models import BlinkLinMulT

# inputs with shapes: [(batch_size, time_dimension, channels, height, width), (batch_size, time_dimension, feature_dimension)]
x1 = torch.rand((8, 15, 3, 64, 64), device='cuda')
x2 = torch.rand((8, 15, 160), device='cuda')
model = BlinkLinMulT(input_dim=160, output_dim=1, weights='blinklinmult-union').cuda()
y_cls, y_seq = model([x1, x2])

# output shape: (batch_size, time_dimension, output_dimension)
assert y_seq.size() == torch.Size([8, 15, 1])
assert y_cls.size() == torch.Size([8, 1])
