Real Time Eye Template Generation System in an Image Sequence

Tarun Dhar Diwan

Abstract


Eye blinking is one of the prominent areas to solve many real world problems. The process of blink detection consists of two phases. These are eye tracking followed by detection of blink. The work that has been carried out for eye tracking only is not suitable for eye blink detection. Therefore some approaches had been proposed for eye tracking along with eyes blink detection. This paper implements one of the approaches given by Michael. The result of template creation accuracy and total blink detection to count number of eye blinks in an image sequence. Online template is completely independent of any past templates that may have been created during the run of the system. At last after analyzing all these approaches some of the parameters we obtained on which better performance of eye blink detection algorithm depend.
