Eye Blink to Voice Communication Aid for Paralyzed Patients

Abstract

Paralyzed is also known as Locked-in syndrome happens when an individual is a quadriplegic and the patient cannot speak or do a facial movement (www.cdn.shopify.com). The affected patient cannot communicate but he will be aware of his surrounding; the patient can hear and see has a normal person. The patient has thinking capacity and reasoning ability he can only use eye movement to communicate with others. Hence, the key purpose of this paper is to propose a real-time interactive system for a paralyzed patient using eye blink an eye motion detection algorithm by assisting them to communicate to caretakers to their needs through blink which is converted to voice. For example, clinical help, S.O.S, essential utility. This is done using a video outline that is handled by Open Computer Vision libraries for Image Processing which is an open-source programming method which is aimed at real-time computer vision.
