Blink Detection for Residential Control

Domotics is the study that involves the fusion of the words “domus” (which means home in latin) and “robotics”, linked directly to the act of automating something. Using facial recognition, by detecting the blink of eyes and its movements, we can make it possible to perform various domestic tasks, such as turning on and off a lamp, opening windows and other activities. In this scenario, an application was developed for the Android platform that connects to the Particle Photon micro controller that is focused on the Internet of Things and is also responsible for the modularization of Wi-Fi functioning as embedded communication channel, making it possible to control the functions that triggered the routine tasks of the residence. In order for image processing to take place, we adopted an Open-Source library called OpenCV. The application contains the Accessibility Mode that is selected by default and enables the blink recognition functions that can be used by all people, in addition to the traditional way of touch screen.
