碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 機械工程系 === 105 === Patients affected by Motor Neuron Disease (MND) call for the need of a system for they to communicate with care providers any time they want with the final motion they can perform, the eye motion. This thesis proposes an eye-motion based communication system, to detect eye blink, gaze estimation and head pose estimation on MND patients on the bed and allow them to conduct simple communication with care providers. This eye-motion based communication system can reduce the need of constant checking on the MND patients by care providers during the bed time, and enable the patients to reach out and receive the care whenever they have the need.
