WHAT IS I-MOUSE?

  • I-Mouse is the equivalent of the conventional computer mouse but it is entirely controlled by eyes
  • the i-mouse offers people with extreme disabilities the opportunity to control a computer simply by moving his or her eyes or head
BENEFITS OF I - MOUSE
  • Low system requirements
  • Low cost
  • High compatibility
  • User friendly
  • Application useful for handicapped people 
  • Easier computer control

EXISTING SYSTEM

         The Headmaster User
          The Eagle Eyes User
           Facial mouse depiction

PROPOSED SYSTEM
  • Hand Free Cursor Control System
         -Locating Human face and eyes
         -Facial movement and eye recognition
         -Calculating line of sight for eyes
         -Movement of mouse pointer using interfacing of human biometrics and computer system

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Two layers constitute the basic structure of i-mouse viz. Tracking Layer and Client layer.
  • Tracking Layer
           -Input: sequence of Real Images.
           -Purpose: To provide a face tracker robust enough to be usable in visible noisy environments.
  • Client Layer
          -Purpose: To provide the necessary level of abstraction over tracking layer.
          -This subsystem makes available the GUI.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
