Abstract

This paper addresses our proposed method to automatically detect the direction of the rotational motion of the human head. The method introduced in this paper develops a human interface, especially in regards to the mouse cursor which can be controlled by the motion of the head motion. Conventionally, template matching is mainly used to make a computer recognize the motion and position of the human face, but there are several problems with terms of versatility and time involved with calculation. We propose a new algorithm to detect the head rotational motion by calculating the shift length of projection curves which are derived from the Hue information of each image.
