 ABSTRACT

 Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a medical condition where the motor neurons of the patient are

paralyzed, it is incurable.
 It also leads to weakness of muscles with respect to hand, feet or voice. Because of this, the patient

cannot perform his voluntary actions and it is very difficult for the patient to express his needs as he

is not able to communicate with the world.

 The proposed system detects the eye blink and differentiates between an intentional long blink and

a normal eye blink. The proposed system can be used to control and Communicate with other

people.
 The objectives of the system are: Capturing the frame from the video using the system’s camera

initializes the execution of the proposed system.

 EXISTING SYSTEM
 This Eye Blink sensor sense the eye blink using is infrared, The Variation Across the eye will vary
as per eye blink, If the eye is closed the output is high otherwise output is low .

 The eye -blink sensor works by illuminating the eye and eyelid area with infrared light, then
monitoring the changes in the reflected light using a phototransistor and differentiator circuit.

 The exact functionality depends greatly on the positioning and aiming of the emitter and detector
with respect to the eye.

 The eye blink sensor is an IR based blink sensor. If the eye is closed, it means the output is high
otherwise the output is low.
DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM

 Not possible to use in a real time with Existing equipment

 Mostly truly not so good to identify the long blinks

 Obtrusive

 Not independent

 Synchronization problems with simulator data(in Sleep Eye)

 PROPOSED SYSTEM

 The proposed project aims to bring out a solution for the paralyzed people without any harm to their
body externally or internally.

 It overweighs the previously developed prototypes in this field because none of the components are in
direct contact with the patients body hence it definitely will prove to be safer.

 Thus, it is necessary to design a system which is affordable to common people which includes cost
effective components for designing.
 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

 To make the Paralyzed people to communicate with us.

 To make the Perfect Assistance for Paralyzed People

 To give all the services for the paralyzed people after they
communicate their needs via blinks.

 FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
 The constant demand to improve daily living standards for paralysis patients serves as a motivation to
develop newer technology.
 The task once performed by big traditional computers is now solved with smaller smart devices.
Paralysis is defined as the complete loss of muscle function in any part of the body.
 It occurs when there is a problem with the passage of messages between the muscles and the brain.
The main objective is to design a real time interactive system that can assist the paralysis patients to
control appliances such as lights, fans etc.
 CONCLUSION
 Although blink detection systems exist for other purposes, an implementation of a blink detection system
with the end use of controlling appliances has not been previously accomplished.
 While the system is intended to assist the paralyzed and physically challenged, it can definitely be used by
all types of individuals.
 The main challenge involved in the implementation of the system is the development of a real time robust
blink detection algorithm.
