Personal Assistant for Special Persons

Abstract

Paralysis happens when a person loses the connection between brain nerves and body muscles and is unable to move his body parts. In many cases patient cannot move any part of the body and performing daily activities become impossible. The purpose of this project is to build a real time interactive system which will help paralyzed people to accomplish different tasks using their eye movements, eye movement is analyzed by image processing techniques. Predefined commands are stored in our system to help patient communicate and move around, initially paralyzed patient's eye is detected using feature detection algorithms. Afterwards system will provide different options to facilitate patient in moving wheelchair according to patient's will. It will also help the patient in communicating to the doctor and others around. C#, Arduino and EmguCV were used to build this project.
