DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACE TRACKING SYSTEM BASED ON MULTIPLE EYE FEATURES

This research is aimed at designing and implementing a human computer interface system that tracks the direction of the human gaze. The motion and direction of the iris is used to drive the interface by positioning the mouse cursor accordingly. The location of the iris is done in batch mode. This implies that the frames are stored in a permanent storage device (hard disk, USB drive etc) and are retrieved one by one. Each of the frames is processed thus finding the location of the iris and thereby placing the mouse cursor accordingly. Such a system that detects the iris position from still images provides an alternate input modality to facilitate computer users with severe disabilities
