Our system consists of 1 applying the support vector machine SVM to detect the eyes 2 using the template matching algorithm to track the eyes 3 using SVM classifier to verify the open or closed eyes and convert the eye winks into a sequence of codes 0 or 1 and 4 applying the dynamic programming to translate the code sequence to a certain valid command. Different from the previous eye-gaze tracking methods our system identifies the open or closed eye and then interprets the eye winking as certain commands for human-machine interface. In the experiments our system demonstrates better performance as well as higher accuracy. Copyright 2007 Che Wei-Gang et al.

INTRODUCTION Recently there has been an emerging community of machine perception scientists focusing on automatic eye detection and tracking research. It can be applied for vision-based human-machine interface HMI applications such as monitoring human vigilance 1-6 and assisting the disable 7 8 . The eye detection and tracking approaches can be classified into two categories CCD camera-based
