Design a HCI system- Mouse Control by Real Time Eye Blinking Detection

Supervised by Y.Gotoh

Abstract

Human Computer Interaction can be described as the communication bewteen user and computer, in order to improve the user's expericence with computer; this project aims to design a HCI system that controls the mouse by real time eye and eye blink detection.

To achieve this goal, three main stages were established: face detection, eye and eye blink detection, and mouse control. Using the haar-like feature approach, the face region and eye regions were tracked. The discrimination of eye states was referred to the corresponding eye blink. Python is the main programming language used to implement this project.

Key words: Real time, Face detection, Eye blinks detection, Haar-like feature, Pyhton.
