GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 737326
Cascade for Detecting Open Eyes to Click
Last modified: 2018-08-17 19:45:49 UTC
A cascade needs to be generated using a facial database that can detect when the user's eyes are open. In conjunction with another cascade that detects closed eyes, this will enable a user to click the mouse cursor on an item on the screen. The haarcascade_eye.xml provided by OpenCV had previously been used for eyes that were open. Some suggested facial databases have been recommended previously: http://www.face-rec.org/databases/ http://www.ecse.rpi.edu/~cvrl/database/other_Face_Databases.htm http://web.mit.edu/emeyers/www/face_databases.html http://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/ig/colorferet.cfm

Team Miami is working on Bug 737326. Update to mouse click event: the user closes the left eye to generate the left mouse click and the user closes right eye to generate the right mouse click.
mousetrap is not under active development anymore since 2015. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/mousetrap/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
