Abstract:
In this paper, we are introducing a low cost and real time computer interaction technique with eye and head gestures along with voice commands, based on a standard webcam. Improving the accuracy of the cursor movement was one of the main challenges while building a system like this. We have applied Kalman filtering for smoothing the mouse cursor movement. The use of voice modality, along with head and eye gestures, made the computer operation more interactive. Calculations of our own defined heuristics were used to improve the accuracy of head and eye detection rate. We obtained remarkable results in eye blink detection, voice command accuracy, and cursor movement. This new multi modal technique, named “EYE POINTER” can be a useful system for the physically impaired people, such as amputees.
