An Application Development for Recognizing of View in Order to Control the Mouse Pointer

The purpose of this article is to develop an application for recognizing the user's point of view in order to control the mouse pointer. In the course of the task, an analysis of the subject area and technologies for implementation of the application was conducted. The algorithms of machine learning for solving the problem were considered. The input data of system are 50 coordinates placed on the face, which include the contours of the face, eyebrows, eyes, nose and coordinates of pupils. Finding the required coordinates occur without use of special devices, but only with webcam used for recognition. The application is implemented in the form of two modules, one of which is responsible for training system for the recognition of the view; the other one is responsible for controlling the mouse cursor with a view. The product can be operated on any operational system: the main requirement is the presence of an interpreter for the Python programming language, which can be downloaded for free from the official site.
