Powered wheelchair controlled by eye-tracking system

چکیده
In this paper, we use the optical-type eye tracking system to control powered wheelchair. The userís eye movements are translated to screen position using the optical-type eye tracking system. The pupil-tracking goggles with a video CCD camera and a frame grabber analyzes a series of human pupil images when the user is gazing at the screen. A new calibration algorithm is then used to determine the direction of the eye gaze in real time. We design an interface with nine command zones to control powered wheelchair. The command at the calculated position of the gazed screen is then sent to move the powered wheelchair.

Hands-free Wheelchair Navigation Based on Egocentric Computer Vision: A Usability Study
People who suffer from impaired upper-limb mobility find a conventional joystick-controlled powered wheelchair difficult or impossible to drive. Thus, several alternative, hands-free methods for controlling the wheelchair via the chin, the tongue, voice commands, and eye tracking have been developed. A recent method relies on an egocentric camera as the primary sensor and on computer vision tec...

متن کاملShared user-computer control of a robotic wheelchair system
An assistive robotic wheelchair system should allow its user to travel more efficiently and with greater ease. The robotic wheelchair system described in this thesis, Wheelesley, performs semi-autonomous navigation for its user, taking high-level directional commands and performing the low-level navigation required to avoid obstacles and stay on a safe path. The system consists of a standard el...
متن کاملSmart Wheelchairs - A literature review
This article presents a summary of current state of smart wheelchairs. An assistive technology known as wheelchair is used to deal with loss of mobility for the patients who are not able to walk normally due to some injury or some other age related walking disabilities (permanent or under treatment). There is a vast development in the field of wheelchairs. Researchers are going on to develop re...
