Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a system for controlling the cursor position in a computer by human eye movements. Many modules have been developed to help the physical world interact with the digital world. Here we present a novel approach for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) where, we control cursor movement using a real time camera and color pointers. Our method is to use a camera and computer vision technology, such as image segmentation, background subtraction and color tracking, to control mouse tasks and we show how it can perform everything as current mouse devices can. A color pointer has been used for the object recognition and tracking, so as to implement the module without any physical contact with the system. The application has been created on matlab environment with operating system as windows 8.1. This method mainly focuses on the use of a web camera to develop a virtual human computer interaction device in a cost effective manner presents hands free interface between computer and human especially for physically disabled persons.

Highlights

As the computer technology is grow up, the importance of human computer interaction is rapidly increasing
The motivation is to create an object tracking application to interact with the computer, and develop a virtual human computer interaction device
The color is detected from the image pixel and the pixel position is mapped into mouse input position, the root class java program for mouse movement is called to move the cursor [1]

Summary

Introduction

As the computer technology is grow up, the importance of human computer interaction is rapidly increasing. We used Matlab to call web camera which is set to take images continuously from the eye focusing pupil. With the help of different image processing techniques, the eye recognition and tracking is achieved.
