Abstract
In this paper, we describe a new application operated with eye-blink for physically handicapped children who cannot speak to communicate with others. Process of detecting blinks is performed in the following steps. 1) To detect an eye area 2) To distinguish opening and closing of eyes 3) To add the method using saturation to detect blink 4) To decide by a conscious blink 5) To improve the accuracy of detection of a blink We reduce the error to detect a blink and pursue the high precision of the eye chasing program. The degree of disablement is varied in children. So we develop the system to be able to be customizes depends on the situation of users. And also, we develop the method into a communication application that has the accurate and high-precision blink determination system to detect letters and put them into sound.
