SELF-ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR DISTANCE MEASUREMENT FROM
MONITORS
ABSTRACT
Designing a system for automatic image content recognition is a non-trivial task that has
been studied for a variety of applications such as face detection, face recognition, person
identification. Face recognition is one of many applications of digital image processing.
Automatic face detection is a complex problem which is concerned with the automatic
identification of an individual in a digital image. There are many algorithms through which this
process can be carried out. But there are no solutions to detect faces automatically with low
resolutions in various applications scenario. We can implement this project computer vision
system to predict the screens which are near to their vision or not. Monitors placed too close or
too far away may cause problems that may lead to eyestrain. Viewing distances that are too
long can cause to lean forward and strain to see small text. This can fatigue the eyes and place
stress on the torso because the backrest is no longer providing support. Viewing distances that
are too short may cause eyes to work harder to focus (convergence problems) and may require
sitting in awkward postures. For instance, user may tilt their head backward or push chair away
from the screen, causing you to type with outstretched arms. But there is no alert system for
measuring distance automatically from monitor to eye. So in this project we can design
implementation for automatic alert based on distance. The minimum distance is 0.38 m (1.2 ft.)
and maximum distance is 1.02 m (3.3 ft.). It can be achieved by using artificial intelligence.
We can use web camera for capturing human head positions and separate the background from
foreground head positions. Then using image processing techniques to detect face and
recognize. Finally calculate the distance from monitor to face via web camera. If the distance is
minimum to pre-define threshold value means, alert is automatically generated and intimate to
users without using any sensors.
