Eye Tracking System using Matlab

Abstract

There are many people around us who suffer from diseases like paralysis, quadriplegia due to which they cannot move their hands and legs. People suffering from such diseases need a person to be with them all the time to understand their needs and assist them. So, for their aid we want to implement an EYE DIRECTIVE WHEEL CHAIR, which moves in the direction based on the movement of eye balls of the person, helping in mobility. For this project we are designing a system called EYE TRACKING SYSTEM. This system consists of a camera, which is mounted on the wheel chair, which captures the movement of the eye balls of the person continuously. And these images are processed by a simulation software called MATLAB. This directs the motion of the EYE DIRECTIVE WHEEL CHAIR. When the person looks in a direction, the angle of rotation of the eyeball is calculated using MATLAB by processing the images continuously captured by the camera. When the person moves his eye balls in left direction, it shows to move left. Similarly, if he moves his eye balls in right direction, it shows move right. It shows move forward when eye balls or looking straight. And in every other situation it shows stop.
