Interactive email system based on blink detection

Abstract

This is a work to develop an interactive email application. An email system is considered as a personal private property nowadays. It is not easy for people with disability to use normal devices for checking their emails. Users need more interaction with their emails. This interactive technology is based on eye blink detection; hence persons with disabilities can also efficiently use this system. The system is divided into two modules. First, in order to use such a system in a secure manner, it is vital to have a secure login module. Face recognition is used for login because it is the only option that can work as a security module with least failure rate and reliability. For face recognition fisherface algorithm is used which can perform faster, best for variations in lighting and facial expression. Second is a tracking phase, which helps to interact with the email system, after the email is loaded and is based on eye blink detection. In this phase a threshold based approach is used that can detect whether a blink occurred or not and interprets them as control commands for interacting with the system. This vibrant application helps people to check their emails faster in a more interactive way without touching any device.
