Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper, a unique approach is proposed to determine eye strain in children caused due to the prolonged exposure to LCD and PDP screens. Blink rate and area of eye sclera are the two efficient metrics relied upon to determine eye strain. Initially, blink rate is computed by monitoring state transitions from open to closed eyes. To segment the sclera region of the eye Otsu’s thresholding and colour tracking, were implemented. These approaches had limitations due to illumination and skin tone. To overcome this, Modified Otsu using Colour Tracking is proposed in this paper. The occurrence of eye strain is determined by comparing the values of the metrics derived in real time with a threshold. The proposed algorithm detects eye strain with an accuracy of 83%. After detection of fatigue an alert message is sent to caretakers.
