Hands-Free Mouse Control System for Handicapped Operators

摘要

The paper describes an evolution of the multimodal system ICANDO (Intellectual Computer Assistant for Disabled Operators) intended for assistance to persons without hands or with disabilities of their hands or arms for human-computer interaction. The evolution of this device relates to the head movements tracking system. The system ICANDO combines the modules for automatic speech recognition and head tracking in one multimodal system. The architecture of the system, methods for head detection and tracking, experiments with hands-free mouse control are described in the paper. The obtained results described at the end of the paper demonstrate an acquisition of increased reliability and faster operation of the ICANDO system.
