What's Our Decision? Computer Vision!!! O.o: By: Honney Thomas, Faria Kader & Sarah Tran

The document discusses computer vision and how it can be used to help people interact with computers through facial recognition and eye tracking. It provides examples of how computer vision allows those unable to use their hands to control a mouse through detecting head motions or eye movements. The document also discusses how computer vision can detect facial expressions and suggest Facebook tags.

What’s our decision?

Computer Vision!!! O.o

By: Honney Thomas, Faria Kader & Sarah Tran


What is Computer Vision?
 Computer Vision “is a discipline that studies how to
reconstruct, interpret and understand a 3D scene from it’s
2D images in terms of the properties of the structures
present in the scene”.
-Robert Fisher, Ken Dawson-Howe, Andrew Fitzgibbon,
Craig Robertson, Emanuele Trucco, Wiley, 2005.
 Computer vision systems analyze images and video
automatically and determine what the computer "sees" or
"recognizes.” -Margrit Betke
Using Computer Vision:
Facial Expression

 Detecting faces allows the devices to identify the


presence of faces apart from the task of recognizing
them.
 In this video Masha, a college student, is experimenting
on how the computer judges our face and tells our mood
by the color of the dragon on the screen.

Using Computer Vision:
Facial Expressions
 Here are pictures of people and their expressions. As
you can see, below the faces, the camera can sense
where the main features change in the face.
Camera Mouse
o The Camera Mouse can detect your
head’s motions and move along on
the computer screen.

o “Instead of using a mouse, a


webcam or built-in camera looks at
you and tracks a spot on your face.
If you move your head to the left,
the mouse moves to the left. If you
hold the pointer over the spot, a
click is issued. Anything you can do
with a mouse, you can do with
Camera Mouse.” – Professor Gips

o June 2007, Camera Mouse was


made available free of charge
through Internet download.

o According to Gips, 100,000 copies


were downloaded in the first 31
months; in the year following that,
another 100,000. More recently is
that100,000 were downloaded in
just one month
Eagle Eyes
o Eagle Eyes allows people who can
only move their eyes to use the
computer by having five electrodes
attached to their head in spots that
can see head and eye movement.

o “Eagle Eyes and Camera Mouse do


more than provide the disabled a
means to access and use the
computer; they now have a means of
communicating and connecting that
their body has denied from them for
years.”
Computer Vision to the rescue !!

 Computer Vision can also be used to help people in need


 Such as those who can’t use certain body parts to
communicate.
 Jordan, the girl above, can’t communicate using her
hands to move the mouse on a computer. But with the
Camera Mouse that recognizes where she wants to click
on she can move the mouse where she wants using her
head.
Computer Vision : Speaking with
Eyes
 The computer senses your eyes and notices the eye
movements. When someone blinks the computer would
click something.
 Looking into the side, or raising eyebrows are some
ways to communicate with your eyes in the computer.
 There’s also the eye gaze detection that detects where
you are trying to move to.
Facebook tagging ! \(^_^\)

 Facebook also has face recognition.


 It scans you and your friends' photos for recognizable
faces and suggests nametags for the faces by matching
them with their profile photos and other tagged photos.
Professor Betke
 Lastly, we want to say thank you
to Mrs. Betke for providing us with
so much information about
computer vision.

 She was the one that motivated us


to do this presentation.

 Her presentation was really


interesting and we learned so
much from her. We also thank her
for providing us with quotes and
helping us with our slides too.
Thanks For Listening/Watching
! :D
