Facial Movements Based Mouse Cursor Control for Physically Disabled Individual

Abstract

The system we have described in this which presents a hand-free interface between human and
computer. Generally the mouse which used by people has been replaced in a new way which uses the
human facial expressions and features. It uses various image processing methods such as face detection,
eye extraction and interpretation of a sequence of eye blinks in real time for controlling a nonintrusive
human computer interface. An interaction with the computer with the mouse is replaced with the human
eye movements. It uses a typical webcam to capture an input image. Mouse cursor control can be done by
facial movement by moving the face towards left, right, up and down and mouse events are controlled
through eye blinks. To perform these operations different algorithms like Haar Cascade algorithm, Dlib are
used. Our system is mainly aimed for physically challenged peoples to have an effective communication
with computer.
