Eye Tracking and Blink Detection for Human Computer Interface

Eye Tracking and Blink Detection for Human Computer Interface

Eye plays an important role in collecting information of face characteristics. The eye region includes information of gesture, identity, gender and etc. It can be used in many applications such as gesture understanding, fatigue driving, eye blink detecting, disabled-helping domain, psychology domain, human-machine interaction, face recognition in video, and so on. Eye tracking is the focus prob...

Blink detection for real-time eye tracking

This work is motivated by our goal of providing non-contact head and eye based control of computer systems for people with motor difficulties. The system described here uses spatio-temporal filtering and variance maps to locate the head and find the eye-feature points respectively. These feature points are accurately tracked in the succeeding frames by using a modified version of the Lucas-Kana...

Vision-Based Eye-Gaze Tracking for Human Computer Interface

Eye-gaze is an input mode which has the potential of an efficient computer interface. Eye movement has been the focus of research in this area. Non-intrusive eyegaze tracking that allows slight head movement is addressed in this paper. A small 2D mark is employed as a reference to compensate for this movement. The iris center has been chosen for purposes of measuring eye movement. The gaze poin...

Eye Detection and Tracking for Intelligent Human Computer Interaction

Real Time Eye Tracking and Blink Detection with USB Cameras

A human-computer interface (HCI) system designed for use by people with severe disabilities is presented. People that are severely paralyzed or afflicted with diseases such as ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) or multiple sclerosis are unable to move or control any parts of their bodies except for their eyes. The system presented here detects the user’s eye blinks and analyzes the pattern and duration...
