description

Eye Ball Tracking System is a device which is intended to assist patients that cannot perform any voluntary tasks related to daily life. Patients who only can control their eyes can still communicate with the real-world using the assistive devices like one proposed in this paper. This device provides a human computer interface in order to take decisions based on their eye movement. A real time data stream is captured via webcam that transfers data serially to MATLAB. Then a sequential image processing scheme segments the iris of the eye and calculates the centroid, thereby generating control signal with the help of a reference axis. The control signals are then used to manipulate the position of a motorized platform via USB-microcontroller interface.
