Easing Wheelchair Control by Gaze-based Estimation of Intended Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
An assistive system easing wheelchair control for severely disabled users is presented. To compensate for the restricted information that can be provided using speciality controls, the person’s gaze is used to estimate the intended motion direction. The novelty of the presented method is that motionrelevant portions of natural gaze behavior can be distinguished from non-relevant. Producing wheelchair movement only from relevant gaze information leads to an increased acceptance of powered wheelchairs in the user group and to improved safety.

Driving Control of a Powered Wheelchair Considering Uncertainty of Gaze Input in an Unknown Environment
This paper describes the motion control system for a powered wheelchair using eye gaze in an unknown environment. Recently, new Human-Computer Interfaces (HCIs) that have replaced joysticks have been developed for a person with a disability of the upper body. In this paper, movement of the eyes is used as an HCI. The wheelchair control system proposed in this study aims to achieve an operation ...
متن کاملAn integrated approach for head gesture based interface
The head pose and movement of a user is closely related with his/her intention and thought, recognition of such information could be useful to develop a natural and sensitive user-wheelchair interface. This paper presents an original integrated approach to a head gesture based interface (HGI) which can perform both identity verification and facial pose estimation. Identity verification is perfo...

Eyes base Electric Wheel Chair Control: EBEWC is proposed. The proposed EBEWC is controlled by human eyes only. Therefore disabled person can control the EBEWC by themselves. Most of the computer input system with human eyes only consider in specific condition and does not work in a real time basis. Moreover, it is not robust against various user races, illumination conditions, EWC vibration, a...
