Abstract :
In this paper we present a computer interface for the disabled by using real-time face recognition algorithm. Based on an adaptive color model, the system allows complex backgrounds (including objects and onlookers) and varying illuminations. Our refined control technique is also robust when suffering the user position shifts. Experiment shows that our system can significantly increase the efficiency for the disabled to deal with Internet information and multimedia entertainment.
