Development of EOG Mouse Using Learning Vector Quantization
説明
Recognition of eye motions has attracted more and more attention of researchers all over the world in recent years. In particular studies to make lives more convenient for patients as ALS who cannot move even their muscles expect eye have been actively done. Many kinds of eye motion recognition methods have been proposed, for example, using infrared to track pupil position, or using image processing technologies to find the pupil. However as they use either infrared or cameras, they may have some effect on the eye. Therefore, in our study, we use an EOG method to recognize eye motions: attaching wet disposable electrodes on the patients’ face to obtain eye movement signals. Then Learning Vector Quantization algorithm is used to recognize each eye motion. Finally, corresponding recognition results to various mouse operations can be obtained. In our study, we recognized eye motions of rolling eyes upward, downward, rolling left, rolling right, diagonal eye motions which contain rolling up-left, rolling up-right, rolling down-left, rolling down-right ( the angle of the diagonal motion is 45°), blink, blink string of three times motion, left wink and right wink, in total 12 kinds of eye motions. The average recognition accuracy was over 98%. Using this recognition system, we achieved 8 direction cursor movements and double click action, scroll page upward and downward. This study would be used as a means of communication to help those patients as ALS.
