Transform your eye blinks into Morse code messages using advanced computer vision!
This innovative web application uses cutting-edge computer vision and machine learning to detect eye blinks in real-time and translate them into Morse code messages. Perfect for accessibility applications, communication in noisy environments, or just for fun!
- Real-time Eye Tracking - Advanced facial landmark detection
- Precise Blink Detection - Machine learning-powered blink recognition
- Morse Code Translation - Automatic dot/dash interpretation
- Web-based Interface - Clean, responsive design
- Low Latency - Optimized for real-time performance
- Customizable Settings - Adjustable sensitivity and timing
Watch the system detect eye blinks and convert them to Morse code in real-time!
The system consists of three main components:
- Computer Vision Module - Face detection and eye tracking
- Signal Processing - Blink pattern analysis and filtering
- Morse Decoder - Pattern-to-text translation
- Python 3.8 or higher
- Webcam or camera access
- Modern web browser
- Clone the repository
git clone [https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/morse-code-eye-blink-detection.git](https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/morse-code-eye-blink-detection.git) cd morse-code-eye-blink-detection - Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
- Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Download the face landmark model
The
shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.datfile should be inmodels/. If missing, you might need to run a script or download it manually from: http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2 - Run the application
python src/app.py
- Open your browser
Navigate to
http://localhost:5000
- Allow camera access when prompted.
- Position your face in the camera view.
-
Start blinking in Morse code patterns:
- Short blink = Dot (
$\bullet$ ) - Long blink = Dash (---)
- Pause = Letter separator
- Short blink = Dot (
- View translated text in real-time.
