This paper presents an inexpensive technique to transform an ordinary screen into a touch screen using an ordinary camera. The setup is easy: position a camera so it can see the whole screen. The system calibration involves the detection of the screen region in the image. which determines the projective...

Touch Screen based Speed Control of Single Phase Induction Motor

This paper gives a brief idea of touch screen technology and its interfacing with a controller to control the speed of single phase induction motor. Here touch screen technology and Programmable System on Chip (PSOC) microcontroller concept is utilized which is less space consumption and easy to design. The aim of this paper is to have remote sensing and speed control of an AC motor.
