We describe a computer vision based mouse, which can control and command the cursor of a computer or a computerized system using a camera. In order to move the cursor on the computer screen the user simply moves the mouse shaped passive device placed on a surface within the viewing area of the camera. The video generated by the camera is analyzed using computer vision techniques and the computer moves the cursor according to mouse movements. The computer vision based mouse has regions corresponding to buttons for clicking. To click a button the user simply covers one of these regions with his/her finger.

Computer vision based unistroke keyboard system and mouse for the handicapped Erdem, ME; Erdem, IA; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Cetin, AE (2003-07-09) In this paper, a unistroke keyboard based on computer vision is described for the handicapped. The keyboard can be made of paper or fabric containing an image of a keyboard, which has an upside down U-shape. It can even be displayed on a computer screen. Each character is represented by a non-overlapping rectangular region on the keyboard image and the user enters a character by illuminating a character region with a laser pointer. The keyboard image is monitored by a camera and illuminated key locations ar...
Face detection in active robot vision Önder, Murat; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) The main task in this thesis is to design a robot vision system with face detection and tracking capability. Hence there are two main works in the thesis: Firstly, the detection of the face on an image that is taken from the camera on the robot must be achieved. Hence this is a serious real time image processing task and time constraints are very important because of this reason. A processing rate of 1 frame/second is tried to be achieved and hence a fast face detection algorithm had to be used. The Eigenfa...
Vision-based human-computer interaction using laser pointer Erdem, İbrahim Aykut; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) By the availability of today̕s inexpensive powerful hardware, it becomes possible to design real-time computer vision systems even in personal computers. Therefore, computer vision becomes a powerful tool for human-computer interaction (HCI). In this study, three different vision-based HCI systems are described. As in all vision-based HCI systems, the developed systems requires a camera (a webcam) to monitor the actions of the users. For pointing tasks, laser pointer is used as the pointing device. The firs...
Computer vision based unistroke keyboards Erdem, A; Erdem, E; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Cetin, AE (2002-10-30) In this paper we present a unistroke keyboard based on computer vision. The keyboard can be made of paper containing an image of the keyboard which has an upside down U-shape. Each character is represented by a nonoverlapping rectangular region. The user enters a character to the computer by covering the character region with a stylus. The actions of the user are captured by a camera and the covered key is recognized. During the text entry process the user need not have to raise the stylus from the keyboard...
Human motion analysis via axis based representations Erdem, Sezen; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Department of Computer Engineering (2007) Visual analysis of human motion is one of the active research areas in computer vision. The trend shifts from computing motion fields to understanding actions. In this thesis, an action coding scheme based on trajectories of the features calculated with respect to a part based coordinate system is presented. The part based coordinate system is formed using an axis based representation. The features are extracted from images segmented in the form of silhouettes. We present some preliminary experiments that d...
