2. INTRODUCTION
Many people are suffering from
quadriplegia around the world,
which affects their four limbs.
The eye monitored wheel chair
will help their movement which
makes their life easy.
We take the advantage of their
ability to move their head.
The laptop webcam will
capture their head movements
by that the wheel chair can be
moved to desired direction.
3. How to design?
Eye detection can be done by MATLAB script
which is running on the laptop which has inbuilt
webcam.
MATLAB puts one digit like 0,1,2 on COM port
based on the eye movements.
ATMega32A is used to drive motors as per user
desire direction like left, right, straight based on
signals send by MATLAB.
5. Software designing
(A) MATLAB COMPONENT:-
Initialization of COM port for
serial communication.
Capturing of image for every
25th frame.
Changing image from RGB
to gray level and enhancing
the image.
Detection of the person’s eye
in image using viola-jone’s
algorithm.
Detection of the eye
movement by comparing the
present position of eye with
previous position.
Placing one digit data on the
COM port based on the eye
movements.
(B) FIRMWARE DESIGN:-
Code developed in AVR
studio.
Hex file generated using AVR
studio.
Hex file dumped into
Microcontroller using extreme
burner software.
6. HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
(A)DESCRIPTION OF MICRO
CONTROLLER ATMEGA 32A.
ATMega32A is a 8-bit microcontroller
having 40 pins.
ATMega32A has a 32 Programmable I/O
Lines.
ATMega32A has a programmable USART.
ATMega32A can operate over 10,000
Flash/100,000 EEPROM Write/Erase
cycles.
11. SAFETY FEATURES
Controlled speed of detection and wheel
chair drive.
Eye height and width threshold.
Controlled movement in either direction
for limited time period.
Less jerk, by incorporating delay in the
wheel chair drive.
Halt control using blink detection.
12. CONCLUSION
PERFORMANCE:-
System functions at an accuracy of 70 – 90%.
Person’s eye can easily detected by using viola-
jone’s algorithm without detecting of things mostly
have face like features.
FUTURE MODIFICATIONS:-
• Lot of work needs to be done before making the
product commercially viable.
• Need to work on wheel chair movement when the
person is just casually glaring in different directions.
• We can incorporate certain sequences for turning
ON and OFF electrical devices or door locks.
• Lot of safety precautions need to be incorporated
