  • hey man, you did have to move your head more then your eyes to do the tracking.

    Now i'm going to make a similar project but i really just want to do it by moving my eyes only, and not my head, thereby not fooling the program that my eyes , or should i say, iris are moving.

    and you must've used OpenCV

    do tell me how man days it took you to code this

    did you use color inverting to single out iris and then use blob detection?

    reply asap.

    btw, awesome program still. good work.

  • @ak2agent26

    Yes this is more about head movement than just eyes. To get the pupil position I convolved sync function with the eye image (since the pupil will always be round) and then just looked for the peak. If you know that your head is not moving you can probably use the same technique to make it work just with your eyes, otherwise you will have to look into gaze estimation or similar techniques.

  • yeah, but this also encourage you not to blink which is what causes bad eye sight from lookin at a computer all day

  • @THEDISCIPL3

    Actually that is not the case, you can just blink as usual and the system will simply ignore it. It is only when you blink with only one eye that it registers as a click.

  • @lpellis1 okay tell me how much time did it take you ( assuming you started it from scratch - using base OpenCV algorithms though)

    because i'm probably going to make this as project, and i will have time till April 2012

    so far i've only thought of taking the negative of the webcam input, single out the dot in the iris, and track that robustly, (so that head movements might not affect iris tracking based mouse pointing)

    any helping input would be appreciated

    thanks for the last reply

  • Where can I download this program ?

  • Great work, the implications of this for assistive technologies is huge!

  • hiii cn anyone provide me d source code for dis application?thnks

  • the website dosen't work !!!! does anyone has an another link to download this software ?
