ABSTRACT
It is necessary to support of computer operation for a physically disabled
person. One of the possible physical movements of the physically disabled
person is Eye movement. Eye gaze and detection of eye opening and closing
of a person makes it possible to operate a computer. In our system, a web
camera, Gaze pointer, Dlib C++ library and OpenCV library are used to recognize
eye gaze and detect eye opening and closing. Changing the eye gaze, we
can move a mouse cursor. Recognizing closed eye, we can carry out an operation
of mouse click. In this paper, we evaluated the effect on operability due
to the eye gaze and detection of eye opening and closing.
Keywords:Mouse cursor control system, Eye gaze, Eye opening and closing
