| Research Abstract |
In this paper we propose an eye-gaze system that uses freely arranged multiple network cameras to reduce the burden of users. The proposed eye-gaze system is a remote control system that allows the users to control appliances by gazing at the electrical appliances. The proposed system is composed of a block of Face Detector, Camera Controller, Eye-gaze Detector and Remote Controller. We propose a method for the face detector using multiple cameras, so that the head of the user does not have to be stationary while it is under the eye-gaze detector process. One of the features of this proposed system is to use network cameras and wireless LAN. In addition the camera and electrical appliances assume an all-in-one design. As a result, the setup is simplified, and it becomes easy to increase the number of cameras.We constructed the control system for electrical appliances using eye-gaze. In addition we studied methods of performance improvements for this system.
