The method of diagonal-box checker search for measuring one's blink in eyeball tracking device

A new method for measuring one's blink in the new human-machine interfaces have been developed in this paper. The major part of eyeball tracking techn ology is the feature extraction of the eyes and in the experiment we use a diagonal-box checker search to solve the problem. Prior to diagonal-box che cker search, we find the feature subset and features that are needed so tha t we save much searchtime. The opening-and-closing action of the eyes resul ts in other controlling commands that will be used for driving the robots t o working or dialing the phone system. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
